About Me

Rick Caruso is a Los Angeles real estate developer who has built some of the country's most successful shopping centers. Caruso ran for mayor of Los Angeles in 2022 and advanced to the run-off, where he lost to former Democratic Rep. Karen Bass. Three of Caruso's retail centers--The Grove, The Americana and Palisades Village--rank among the 15 largest in the country in sales per square foot. The grandson of Italian immigrants, Caruso opened a retail center in 1992 and has more recently expanded into residential, office and hospitality. In 2020, Caruso served on both White House and state-level task forces on how to safely reopen the economy after Covid-19. In February 2025, he launched the nonprofit Steadfast LA with other business and community leaders to help rebuild areas destroyed by the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires.
