Anthony built dozens of prominent office buildings, strip malls, retail centers as well as over 100 rental properties he owned and developed himself. One of his proudest professional accomplishments was when Anthony met and created a decades-long-lasting relationship with the city agency for child services and built dozens of day care centers for them and all the children they housed and protected.
