Tom Radcliffe works with Colliers | Alabama as a Leasing and Sales Specialist. Tom has more than 7 years’ experience in the commercial real estate industry. Prior to working with Colliers, he was employed at NAI Chase Commercial Realty. Tom is a long-time resident of Huntsville and attended the University of Alabama in Huntsville, graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in Marketing. Although his expertise lies in Class A/B office space, he recently has found success in leasing or selling troubled or distressed properties.

Since joining Colliers, Tom has added to his history of success rescuing distressed properties. 150 West Park Loop, a 3-story, 56,000 square-foot, Class B+ office property located in Huntsville had struggled for years until new ownership picked it up and got Tom involved. He was able to lease it up from 10% to over 95% occupied in less than two years. During this period, Tom was overseeing an exciting building transformation which included building exterior, new landscaping, updates to HVAC, entire interior remodel, elevator systems, and new monument signage. Tom worked with over 46 different companies to renew, expand, relocate or lease over 215,000 square-feet of office space in 2022. He leases some of Huntsville’s most prominent office properties, including 1500 & 1525 Perimeter Corporate Park, Regions Center, Progress Center, and many others.

Tom’s generosity, leadership, and commitment extends from his role as Associate Broker with Colliers to giving back to his community. Tom and his wife participated in this year’s Make a Wish Foundation fundraiser by donating a weekend at their lake house in the silent auction. Tom and his wife, Jessica, live in Madison with their sons Easton (6), Crew (3) and one-year old twins, Ella and Hudson. Tom competed in Huntsville’s Ultimate Frisbee Elite Mixed Club at the 2022 National Championships in San Diego, California. This was the first time that a Huntsville team has ever competed at nationals and was a huge success for the club. He also has served on the Huntsville Ultimate Board of Directors as Club Representative, captain of the local Men’s Elite Club Team, and Head Coach of the UAH Club Team.

What is your career goal, and how does HSV fit into that picture?

My career goal has always been to provide strategy and growth for good companies. Commercial Real Estate has provided me the opportunity to assist in this process, and Huntsville is ripe with companies moving and pivoting as they expand in the area. Huntsville is far from reaching its developmental finality, and that’s why I see so many career opportunities here.
