About Us
Experience is the
Best Teacher
Stark Enterprises was founded in 1978 by Bob Stark, who purchased a single-story retail location in Mayfield Heights, Ohio, while completing his J.D. at Case Western Reserve University. This initial investment laid the foundation for what has grown into one of the most reputable real estate companies in the country, now spanning eight states and continuously expanding. With over 40 years of experience, Stark Enterprises has developed more than 50 properties, including retail, residential, and mixed-use projects, with a nearly $2 billion portfolio encompassing 9 million square feet of diverse environments such as retail, entertainment, office, residential, hotel, and student housing.
As the company has matured, its strategic focus has evolved, emphasizing the development of the Community Core—an innovative approach that integrates mixed-use density, intricate place-making, and compelling architectural design to create unique, pedestrian-focused communities. Currently managing over $1 billion in development projects, Stark Enterprises is committed to long-term investment, earning a reputation for creating some of the nation’s most beautiful and well-maintained properties.
In May 2022, Bob Stark transitioned to the role of President & Chairman, with his son, Ezra Stark, stepping into the position of Chief Executive Officer, assuming responsibility as the principal decision-maker and leading the company’s future growth and direction.
