DENVER — EcoSystems, a Miami-based water and energy efficiency company founded by two brothers who represent the next generation of sustainable development, is investing in growth in the Denver market – specifically among multifamily properties and sustainable renovations. The company has hired Phil Tollios as project leader to oversee the Denver market growth and project management, as the firm continues its work with Denver Water and Denver-based properties.
Brothers Richard Lamondin (age 30) and Lawrence Lamondin (28) are partnering with multifamily property owners across the U.S. to conserve billions of gallons of water and millions of dollars – one toilet and faucet at a time. They founded EcoSystems in 2012 with the mission to provide tailored solutions that promote smarter, more efficient uses of water and energy, and empower people and businesses by eliminating wastes and cutting costs.
With more than five years of project management experience, Phil Tollios will administer the firm’s Denver Water projects and establish EcoSystems’ footprint in the Denver market. Prior to EcoSystems, Tollios was general manager at Burnham Nationwide, Inc. in Los Angeles where he managed projects, strategic planning, growth and project management assignments for the building permit and code compliance consulting firm. Notable projects Tollios has managed include Metropolis Development and Wilshire Grand Center in Los Angeles, and the Baybrook Mall Extension in Houston.
“On the heels of completing Colorado’s largest ever water conservation retrofit and being named Denver Water’s official retrofit contractor, we’re thrilled to bring Phil on board to continue to grow in Colorado,” said Richard Lamondin, co-founder and CEO of EcoSystems. “Denver’s commitment to conservation inspires us to continue to help Denver residents and property owners to save water for future generations, while also putting dollars back in their pockets and building value for their properties,” said Richard Lamondin.
