Wilf's parents, Joseph and Elizabeth Wilf, are both Holocaust survivors in Poland.[1] The Wilf family imigrated to the United States from Europe in the early 1950s and settled in New Jersey. After a brief stint as used car salesmen, Joseph and his brother Harry Wilf began purchasing apartment buildings and renting units. Eventually, the brothers began building single-family homes and founded Garden Homes.
A successful real estate developer, his two main family-run businesses, Garden Homes and Garden Commercial Properties, have constructed some 25,000 homes in 39 states across the country since 1955; the two entities and their subsidiaries own and manage 25 million square feet in retail and business property.[2]
