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]

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]
