THE JOURNEY
From Philadelphia to National Reach
Growing up in Philadelphia, Tom learned early that successful projects aren't built on ambition alone — they're built on structure, alignment, and execution.
After decades in commercial real estate, finance, and development, Tom discovered his true calling: transforming bold visions into bankable, executable projects.
Where others see complexity, Tom sees systems to be solved:
Financial Structuring
Engineering deals that align capital, operators, and municipalities
Risk Mitigation
Identifying and eliminating deal-killers before they materialize
Operator Alignment
Connecting world-class operators with ready-to-execute opportunities
Commercial Real Estate Expertise
Deep knowledge of adaptive reuse and destination development
Stakeholder Management
Orchestrating complex negotiations with multiple parties
Execution Focus
Turning concepts into construction-ready projects
And the path from concept to ribbon-cutting.
Tom's expertise spans adaptive reuse, mixed-use developments, entertainment destinations, and sports complexes — transforming distressed or underutilized assets into revenue-generating, community-serving properties.
From the Philadelphia metro to markets across the country, Tom has structured deals that bring operators, municipalities, and capital together in perfect alignment.
CORE PRINCIPLES
Tom's Approach is Built on Three Pillars
Alignment before capital
The right deal structure eliminates 90% of execution risk.
Operators drive success
Great buildings need great operators — we find both.
Exit early, exit right
Our value is in assembly and de-risking, not in operations.
Tom is the connective tissue that brings institutional capital, best-in-class operators, municipal leadership, and property owners together — creating deals where risk is minimized and upside is maximized.
His mission is simple:
Turn complexity into clarity. Turn vision into execution.
This is what he does best. And Revive is the platform that delivers it at scale.
