Cocca Development was founded in 1999 by Anthony L. Cocca to consolidate his growing portfolio of real estate holdings. Headquartered in Boardman, Ohio, with a satellite office in Sarasota, Florida, the company has evolved into a multi-faceted real estate development and operating firm. Cocca Development owns and manages a diverse portfolio of residential and commercial properties across 35 states, with a strategic focus on acquiring, developing, and leasing assets to national tenants.
The company’s residential holdings are concentrated in Youngstown, Ohio, and surrounding communities, comprising both single-family and multifamily buildings. Its commercial portfolio includes freestanding retail stores, strip centers, multi-tenant buildings, office space, industrial facilities, and warehouse properties. Cocca also owns over 100 acres of vacant land designated for future development.
Cocca Development’s investment strategy emphasizes long-term ownership and leasing to nationally recognized tenants. The firm is one of the largest developers and lessors for discount retailers such as Dollar General, Dollar Tree, Family Dollar, and Tractor Supply Company. Recent expansion includes build-to-suit projects for TJ Maxx, Five Below, Grocery Outlet, Chipotle, and Ollie’s Bargain Outlet.
Top market exposures include Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Texas, with properties spanning coast-to-coast from Maine to California. This broad geographic distribution mitigates regional concentration risk. The company’s leasing strategy is anchored by high-credit tenants, including Walgreens, Dunkin’, FedEx, Planet Fitness, and the U.S. Postal Service, among others.
Cocca Development’s vertically integrated model includes in-house construction through V&R Construction, which is licensed in 29 states. The company’s leadership team includes experienced professionals in finance, leasing, architecture, and property management, supporting its continued growth and operational efficiency.
