| Moceri Companies’ success is rooted in lessons learned by Sebastian “Buster” Moceri, who operated the family fruit and grocery business in Detroit from the 1920s through the 1940s. He built his business on five simple principles: be trustworthy, speed counts, sell volume, be flexible and provide second-to-none service. Those tenets have proven valuable in the building industry as well. Realizing that the suburbs north of Eight Mile Road would grow rapidly, Buster Moceri relied on relationships he had established with farmers he met through his grocery business to acquire prime corner parcels of land. That land, largely in Macomb County, would later become home to Moceri housing developments. It was Buster’s son, Dominic, who would carry his father’s vision forward. |
In the 1950s, Dominic Moceri, realizing the new interstate expressway system would allow people to quickly travel longer distances from home to wherever they wanted to go, found opportunity in Grand Blanc. Viewing the town as a bedroom community for auto industry employees, he made it the site of his first development. With the help of his wife, Frances, who he married in 1957, he launched a building organization that would create homes for 50,000 Michigan families. The building business is now in the capable hands of the Moceri’s three youngest sons. The work ethic handed down from their father has enabled them to serve the next generation of homebuyers. Dominic J. Moceri heads up finance and development, Frank Moceri runs construction and operations and Mario Moceri is in charge of asset management. |
