Norman Radow established The RADCO Companies in 1994, founded on his lifelong passion to improve the

lives of people and neighborhoods. Norman was born and raised in public housing in Brooklyn, New York. His

harrowing experiences as a young boy showed him firsthand the influence that property management and

public policy can have on the quality of life for residents and the greater community.

Norman founded The RADCO Companies, a real estate investment firm, in 1994 focusing on developing for-

sale urban condominiums until 2006. Then it pivoted to manage workouts and became the leading

restructuring firm in the United States, overseeing much of Lehman Brothers’ real estate assets in bankruptcy.

RADCO identified multifamily as the next investment opportunity coming off the Great Recession in 2010.

Since then, RADCO acquired and invested in approximately 30,000 apartment units in 15 markets and

completed and sold over 100 multifamily transactions totaling $3.2 billion. Norman launched Radco

Residential in 2014, to deliver superior human-centric data-driven property management, construction, and

asset management services for The RADCO Companies’ rapidly evolving portfolio and for third party clients.

The company delivered substantial operational success while embracing a warm and nurturing culture and

cutting-edge business practices while always delivering on life lessons that Norman learned in his youth.

In addition to multifamily, RADCO’s Hospitality Division was created in 2021 in response to the pandemic’s

operational and capital markets disruptions. RADCO has since acquired twelve hotels in three states and

continues to seek out hospitality assets in the southeast US as well as other markets.

Norman was the long-time chairman of Kennesaw State University’s Board of Trustees, serves on The Board

of New York Law School, and along with his family, is an active philanthropist. He has received many awards

for his service to the community. In 2020, the State of Georgia Board of Regents named “The Norman J.

Radow College of Humanities and Social Sciences” after him. Norman was awarded an honorary PhD in 2023

from KSU. He also earned a Juris Doctor from New York Law School and a BA in history from SUNY

Plattsburgh.

MARK TORO founded Atlanta-based Toro Development Company in 2021 to create value by building community. As Chief Vision Officer, Toro will use a metric-driven approach to identify properties that have significant potential based on the promise of the locale. He and his team have multi-dimensional experience, positioning Toro Development Company to choose the right use or mix of uses for each redevelopment.

Prior to starting Toro Development Company, Toro cofounded and led the North American Properties (NAP) Atlanta office where he oversaw $3.1 billion in real estate development, totaling 9.4 million square feet. He delivered industry-leading returns to his capital partners, became known nationally as a leader in experience-driven commercial real estate and left a legacy of great communities. His successes at NAP include the repositioning of Atlantic Station, development of Alpharetta’s $1 billion Avalon and the redevelopment of Colony Square.

Toro currently serves on ICSC’s Board of Trustees, Midtown Alliance’s Board of Directors and serves as vice chair of the City of Refuge Board, where he chaired the $25 million “Shining the Light” capital campaign. He also serves on the Board of Directors of The ATL, a State authority that governs the expansion of public transportation in Metro Atlanta.

Before cofounding NAP’s Atlanta office in 1996, Toro served in several leadership positions with Faison and Cousins Properties. He has developed, redeveloped or repositioned more than 70 properties totaling almost 30 million square feet during his career.

He attended Rutgers University, where he met his wife, Nancy.
