Founders

As CEO of The Carabetta Organization, Joe is no stranger to the construction industry.  He is recognized as the founding principal of the family enterprise and has earned numerous special citations and awards, either directly or through the company.  These acknowledgements range from local non-profit organizations to the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.  More recently, on October 21, 2007, he was inducted into the Meriden Hall of Fame for his accomplishments in the City of Meriden, Conn.

He has had the leadership responsibility for the development and construction of over 17,000 dwelling units (including 2,200 single family homes) and manages over 9,000 residential apartments.  He has the unique ability to envision the transformation of difficult sites and outdated buildings into functional and attractive high quality developments.  Using foresight and creativity, he “makes projects work”.

The majority of his time is directed toward the initial site acquisition, the supervision of field construction, and the review of a project’s status at all levels.  He oversees the day-to-day operation of all properties and directs the staff of construction experts. 

Joe is skilled in leasing and marketing techniques in the rental of various commercial and residential properties.  He serves as a senior advisor on all aspects of development, property management, marketing, and leasing.
