Real estate developers, builder and managers
Doing right by those who trust us isn’t a strategy — it’s the only way we know how to work.
BUILT TOGETHER
The long game
We’re long term thinkers. Timing the market is a
coin flip, but patience is our edge. By leveraging
HUD-backed, fixed-rate, non-recourse financing,
we create lasting stability and reliable yield.
The long game
We advance one to two projects at a time. For us,
success is about doing things right – bringing
steadiness and clarity to everything we do.
Off the Beaten Path
We focus on neighborhoods poised for growth —
close to the energy of major hubs, yet with room
to grow. By leveraging Opportunity Zone
incentives, we align with long-term value creation.
Skin in the Game
We believe the best partnerships are built on
shared commitment. That’s why we invest
alongside our partners. We’re all working toward
the same goals.
Avoid the Herd
When markets get overheated, we get cautious
When fear takes over, we lean in. Opportunity and
value is rarely where everyone else is looking.
HOW WE DIFFER
These 3 principles show how we work and why our partners stick with us — a clear perspective that guides every decision we make.
The long game
01
Radical Transparency
We share openly with our partners, ensuring alignment and trust from the very beginning.
02
Long-Term Alignment
We invest alongside our partners and focus on opportunities that stand the test of time.

What sets Tandem apartment isn’t just our capabilities. It’s how we show up and how we treat the people we work with. We bring a rare mix of humanity and clarity to every project – always keeping our investors, residents and community in view.
Our Chicago upbringing taught us to keep our heads down, solve problems fast, and avoid the theater that often surrounds real estate. We don’t posture — we perform. Every handshake, every hard conversation, every smart risk we take is part of building something that lasts.
ALL-IN OWNERSHIP
TM
At Tandem ownership is a mindset. We plan like developers, design like managers and act like long-term stakeholders. That means we anticipate problems, sweat the details early and align teams quickly – all, to protect value and avoid surprises.
Because we manage development, construction, and property operations under one roof, we’re able to move faster, communicate better, and stay focused on what matters most.
We don’t pass the buck – we stay in it. From the first sketch to the final walk-through (and beyond), All-In Ownership™™ is what ensures our projects are smarter, smoother, and built to last.
