About Us

Since our inception in 2002, CORDOS Development & Associates has earned an impressive reputation for excellence in the Chicagoland construction industry. Rather than specialize in particular market, building, or construction types, we specialize instead in being truly client-focused.

That over 80 percent of our work is for repeat clients has enabled CORDOS to expand in size and expertise: from new construction to complex repurposing, from historic restoration to hospitality, from high-end residence to large scale demolition; from industrial to multi-family.

When it comes to our clients, there is no project too large or small. And whether as general contractor, CM, or design builder, there is no project delivery in which CORDOS has not successfully completed its assignments, on time and within budget. This philosophy flows directly from CORDOS principals, who bring to each project a collective expertise from allied professions, including real estate development, architecture, engineering, and law. We apply as balanced and informed an approach to our client’s underlying business goals as we do to constructing their buildings.

Safety

Cordos takes great pride in our exemplary safety record. We have maintained an Experience Modification Rate of well under 1.00 and have a Total Recordable Incident Rate of 0.00 over the last five years. While we employ a rigorous safety program, our principals choose to lead by example, each with 30 hour OSHA certifications. This not only provides our clients with the peace of mind, but also results in safe environments for our employees and subcontractors.

Since 2014, CORDOS has focused its efforts in the burgeoning MMJ market, successfully completing in two short years four cultivation and manufacturing facilities and four dispensaries in Illinois and New York for two nationally recognized medical cannabis brands.

We also completed manufacturing suites and site development for two additional manufacturing facilities in Illinois. We are currently design-assisting within the preconstruction stages of cultivation and manufacturing facilities in Massachusetts, Maryland, and Pennsylvania.

Our experience in the MMJ industry clearly indicates that speed is the key to our clients’ success. Six-month planning-to-occupancy schedules are commonly mandated by state regulators or, equally important, by the marketplace, where early entry invariably defines market share and cumulative success in securing subsequent regulated markets. With no time to spare for on-the-job training, CORDOS deep industry knowledge, skilled pre-planning, participatory collaboration, and experienced execution have enabled all of our clients to plan, permit, construct, launch, and operate facilities of the highest quality faster than any other MMJ builder in the nation.

Though our clients initially sought to complete their projects using methodical institutional management processes, CORDOS has invariably illustrated how only their customized contract and management processes, finely tailored to the unique types of structures, utilities, technologies, specialty systems and contractors, could produce their projects of the highest quality, within near-impossible schedules, for far lower than industry average costs. Our finished projects and satisfied clients speak for themselves.
