What's Changed, and What the Future Holds for the Southeast's Largest Firms Future-Proofing Your Portfolio

• 

  Norman Radow

  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.
