"Art is not entertainment. At its very best, it's a revolution."

-Salman Rushdie

My name is Tom Nordyke and I am one of the principals of TGR, formerly Noordijk, inc. Welcome!

Our new name is the result of the new partnership between the four Principals forming our new team! Rick, Grant, Aaron and I are very excited about the opportunities for our new work together and with the team here at TGR Development.

TGR is a real estate development company that focuses on building creative living and commercial communities through the adaptive reuse of historical structures and new construction projects. While our experience is broad, in many ways it all comes back to creating places for the businesses, residents and the arts to survive and thrive.

I founded Noordijk, inc. in 2003, and with the new team we have over 50 years combined experience in real estate finance, leasing, design, marketing and management as TGR Development. My team and I work on our own behalf or in conjunction with other developers to identify new projects, structure financing options, implement and execute marketing plans and engage the community to ensure that projects are successful and further the economic and aesthetic revival of people, businesses and the communities around them.

The portfolio of projects on which we have worked is diverse. Click here to see a sampling of our projects. IN all we do we are fueled by our passion to create vibrant communities that preserve our past and promote the future.
