For more than thirty years, William Kadish has been a quiet constant in American commercial real estate, shaping communities, preserving jobs, and repositioning properties from Ohio to Florida, New York to Alabama. Today, he serves as Director of Commercial Real Estate Development and Disposition for Lawrence Kadish Real Estate, a New York based firm with a nationwide footprint.

His philosophy is simple and consistent:
Create places for people to gather and communities to flourish.

From large industrial facilities to mixed use campuses and entertainment districts, Kadish has dedicated his career to projects that strengthen both local economies and community life.

A Career Spanning the Country

Kadish’s development and disposition work has touched virtually every corner of the country, with recent focus in:

Alabama
Florida
Illinois
New York
Pennsylvania
Arkansas

Over the years, he has led new development and rehabilitative projects for major national brands and regional operators, including familiar names like Walmart, CVS, and Sherwin Williams, as well as regional grocers, restaurants, and single tenant medical providers.

This blend of national scale and local sensitivity has become a hallmark of his work.

The Alabama Chapter

In recent years, Kadish has focused heavily on Alabama, particularly through Broad Metro and the now signature mixed use development Stadium Trace Village in AAA bond rated Hoover.

Stadium Trace Village was designed to go far beyond big box concepts. Under Kadish’s leadership, the project includes:

A world renowned medical facility
An organic grocer
A full service hotel
Experiential retail that blends recognizable brands with local eateries and neighborhood shops

It is the culmination of decades of experience brought to bear on one community focused, future proof destination.

Beyond Real Estate: Professional and Civic Leadership

Kadish’s impact extends beyond individual deals. He serves as Director for Commercial Real Estate Development for Financial Professionals of New York, a 2,000 member professional organization.

His background also includes service as a committeeman in the Nassau County, New York Republican Party, and a strong academic foundation: a Business Administration degree from Nova Southeastern University and a Juris Doctorate from Shepard Broad College of Law.

A Consistent Through Line: Community First

Whether he is working to keep a distribution center in Effingham, Illinois, helping preserve 350 jobs in Archbold, Ohio, or leading mixed use development in Hoover, Alabama, Kadish’s through line is clear:

Protect jobs when possible
Strengthen communities where he invests
Treat properties as long term community assets, not just transactions

It is why his work resonates not just on balance sheets, but in the lives of the people and places his projects touch.
