Haddad joined Armada Hoffler as an on-site construction superintendent in 1985. After several promotions, he was named president of Armada Hoffler Construction Co. in 1987, at age 29.

Since then, the real estate investment trust has increased its property holdings to 51 large-scale commercial assets and developed over $800 million of new projects. It has operations across seven mid-Atlantic states. Armada Hoffler has participated in more than 25 public-private partnerships, including its flagship local project, the Town Center of Virginia Beach.
Haddad and wife, Mary, founded the Louis & Mary Haddad Foundation in 1999 to improve the lives of disadvantaged and at-risk children. Haddad has also been active with the American Heart Association, Special Olympics and the March of Dimes.
