LOUIS S. ‘LOU’
FRANK ‘BUDDY’ GADAMS
FOUNDER AND PRESIDENT, MARATHON DEVELOPMENT GROUP INC., NORFOLK

for the transformation of downtown Norfolk’s Bank of America building into a massive residential development called Icon Norfolk. Marathon also developed Te Rockefeller Norfolk Apartments from the former Union Mission building. In 2017, Gadams sold the downtown ADP building (home to a large payroll services company) for $57 million, which, at the time, was the highest price fetched for a Norfolk office building. In October 2019, he announced his latest downtown 500-apartment development, which will be located in the city’s historic Neon District. Gadams also directed construction for the
Suffolk Center for Cultural Arts and renovation of the Governor’s School for the Arts in Norfolk.

Today, it is among Virginia’s largest commercial real estate companies and is known for Virginia Beach’s Town Center, as well as more than two dozen public-private develop- ment deals and $800 million in new projects since going public in 2013. Haddad and his wife, Mary, co-founded a
foundation in 1999 to help at-risk children, and he has volunteered with Big Brothers/Big Sisters, the Special Olympics, United Way and other charities. Last year, amid some community criticism and
citing not enough support from Portsmouth city government, Armada Hoffler withdrew its plans to redevelop Portsmouth’s waterfront by moving city-owned buildings inland to make room for private development on the coast. In June 2020, the company salvaged a deal to sell seven grocery-anchored shopping centers to a Canadian company for $90 million after an initial $106.5 million agreement was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic’s economic impact.
