Our Leadership

Meet Todd Huntington

Todd is a seasoned professional with nearly 20 years of experience in design, project management, and construction across retail, commercial, and industrial real estate. His career began in 2005 as a Civil Engineer at GPD Group in Akron, OH, where he worked on a variety of site development projects. He collaborated closely with stakeholders, including owners, engineers, architects, municipalities, and contractors, to ensure successful project outcomes.

In 2015, Todd relocated to Dallas, TX, to establish a new office for GPD and drive growth in the Texas market. In this leadership role, he built and mentored a team of architects and engineers, developed client relationships, and managed daily operations for GPD in Texas. After 15 years at GPD, Todd joined a Dallas-based developer and contractor, focusing on developing flex industrial business suites in the DFW area. As the Director of Design, Engineering & Construction, he oversaw various project phases, from site selection and design to construction management and tenant engagement. During his four-year tenure, the company expanded from a single building with 9 tenants, to five locations with +300,000 nrsf and +120 tenants.   

In 2024, Todd and his wife, Melanie, returned to Northeast Ohio to raise their three sons, Tanner, Ty, and Madden, closer to family. Leveraging his extensive experience in real estate development, Todd founded Tread Development in 2024, offering design, engineering, and construction consulting for diverse real estate projects.
