CAFARO
History The story of Cafaro...the family and the organization...is an extraordinary one. It’s a tale punctuated by real estate development achievements that stretch from coast to coast. William M. Cafaro and his brother John started out developing properties for grocers. In 1949, they founded a company with a new goal: To know and serve the markets they selected with retailers people needed and wanted. As the industry evolved, so did the company. By the 1960's Cafaro was building regional malls. Currently our portfolio encompasses more than 50 projects totaling more than 30 million square feet of space Now, as the company has surpassed its 60th birthday, a third generation of Cafaros is putting its own imprint on the business. Co-Presidents William A. Cafaro and Anthony Cafaro, Jr. bring their own unique talents, vision and techniques, all the while maintaining the philosophy to which they were born. They continue to redevelop and reposition the property portfolio with an eye toward expansion. Stability and integrity remain the watchwords for Cafaro’s professionals. They manage our core functions...management, leasing, marketing, security, construction and maintenance...in-house to ensure the highest possible quality for tenants and shoppers. Many of our professionals have been with us for decades, bringing a rare mix of skill and continuity. They’re part of the family too.
