Michael Short and Michael Roth first teamed up through a shared client while working at NAI Earle Furman. Short was managing projects, Roth was brokering deals — and it didn’t take long to see how their strengths fit together. Short brought order, discipline, and a builder’s eye for execution, while Roth had the creativity and drive to structure deals that others might pass over. What began as a collaboration quickly grew into a partnership, and eventually a company built on trust, complementary skills, and a shared vision. The name came easy: TMC Development — The Michaels Company. Today, that same partnership anchors every project with the simple goal they started with: build what matters.
Not only are we proud of the work we do but we’re proud of the team behind our work. The directors, managers, designers and fabricators at 11th Street Workshop are the best in the business.
