Yidios began his college experience studying Physics and Financial Mathematics at Stetson University, focusing on physics and financial mathematics, where he also played NCAA tennis.[5][6] He studied civil and structural engineering at the University of Florida, and continued on to earn his master’s degree in engineering and urban development.[2] He eventually earned his executive’s master degree at Harvard Business School.[3] Yidios also completed education at London’s Royal College of Art, focusing on architecture and design thinking.[7]

Ytech

[edit]

Ytech was founded by Yidios in 2008, amidst the financial crisis at the time. The company focuses predominantly on the development of luxury residences in urban centers.[2] The company is responsible for structures within Miami’s Brickell neighborhood, including the Residences at 1428 Brickell[8] the Nolan House mansion, one of the few remaining structures from Miami’s original Millionaire’s Row,[9] and 1500 Brickell Avenue, known as Chateau Petite Duoy.[10] As of October 2022, Ytech has developed more than 7,000 residential units in the Southeastern United States with an investment of $2 billion. The company has a development pipeline of more than $3 billion luxury condos.[4][11]

1428 Brickell

[edit]

In January 2017, Yidios bought 1428 Brickell out of foreclosure, totaling $26.5 million and “tens of millions more” to settle claims and non-real estate matters.[1] In an interview with Forbes, Yidios announced plans to re-develop 1428 Brickell into the first high-rise residential tower in the world that runs partially on solar energy, and the first to use photovoltaic glass. The 70-story tower was designed by ACPV Architects Antonio Citterio and Patricia Viel, based out of Milan.[3]

Personal life

[edit]

Yidios is married to his wife, Vanessa Moorefield-Yidios. They have three children.[7][4]

In 2021, Yidios sold his penthouse at Grovenor House in Coconut Grove for $7.7 million.[4]

In March 2022, Yidios sold his Brickell penthouse at the Four Seasons Residences for $11 million, a 150% gain from what he had paid the year prior. He then purchased a combined unit on Fisher Island in Miami Beach for $17.5 million.[4]
