    Episode 443: Adaptive Reuse & Ground Up Development with Adam Friedberg
    Apr 2 2026

    Adam Friedberg, CEO of Mavrek Development, joins us to discuss the ins and outs of large-scale developments in Chicago.

    Adam starts by explaining how he started in real estate and hustled early on to learn development and value-add construction. He breaks down pitching development deals to investors and various methods for raising money. Adam talks about projects during COVID and how his team pivoted given the unforeseen circumstances. He gets granular on how to most efficiently cut construction costs without negatively impacting the quality of the final product. In typical SUCI fashion, Adam explains why he is doubling down on Chicago investments and why you should too!
