Effective communication and project management skills are essential, as these professionals often coordinate timelines, training, and resources across multiple stakeholders.

Why Cafaro:

For 75 years, we have been dedicated to bringing high-quality retail developments to communities across America. We understand that the needs and preferences of each market evolve, and we respond by creating vibrant centers that serve as destinations for shopping, dining, and entertainment.

This vision was born from the entrepreneurial spirit of our founders, brothers William M. Cafaro and John Cafaro. Their journey began by developing properties for grocery stores, and in 1949, they established the foundation for what would become a leading force in retail development across the nation.

Today, the Cafaro portfolio boasts over 50 properties, encompassing more than 30 million square feet of developed space across 10 states. The third generation of the Cafaro family now leads the company, with Co-Presidents William A. Cafaro and Anthony Cafaro, Jr., guiding this dynamic organization with their unique talents and vision. While embracing innovation, they remain deeply committed to the values of stability and integrity instilled by their father and grandfather.

Accordingly, by promoting an environment that values fairness, respect, and recognition, the organization shall endeavor to stimulate amongst its people accountability, personal growth, and self-esteem.
