John Anderson
John Anderson started out as an electrician. A job site accident landed him at a drafting table. Moving from the trades to project management on a string of progressively larger projects, in 1989 John joined the developers' staff for the Mall of America. The project exhausted any interest in segregated conventional suburban development. Managing several infill projects in Minneapolis and St. Paul for a local developer led to an introduction to the Congress for the New Urbanism.
For the past 20 years, John has worked at the pragmatic intersection of design and development. His development projects at the neighborhood, block and single lot scales combine no nonsense architecture and straight forward construction to create ROI that exceeded the pro formas. He's been to the top, he's been to the bottom and he's happy to share his lessons learned about development for all points between.
He is currently a Principal with Anderson|Kim Architecture + Urban Design and the Managing Partner with Chico Building and Land.
