As CEO of Ellicott Development Company, which he founded in 1973, and a life-long advocate of the City of Buffalo, Carl is best known for championing strategic ideas and plans to bring new life to the city and region.
To his credit, Carl has consistently invested in Western New York, beginning his career with his largest single real estate purchase to this day, the acquisition of the Ellicott Square. Now, Ellicott Development Co. manages over 2 million square feet of office, retail and residential space, making Ellicott Development the largest private landlord in downtown Buffalo today. Carl is a risk-taker, unafraid to pioneer strategic retail developments in the most economically depressed areas of Buffalo, Syracuse, and Albany.
Carl attended St. Bonaventure University and the Syracuse University College of Law. He received his Juris Doctor degree in 1971 and traveled to Fort Bliss, Texas to serve in the U.S. Army. Carl returned to Buffalo the following year, eventually undertaking the management role for the New York City-based owners of the Ellicott Square, and establishing the law firm of Paladino, Cavan, and Quinlivan. He retired from service as a Captain in 1981.
As a successful and experienced businessman, forever loyal to the City of Buffalo, Carl is frequently sought out to share his leadership and expertise with many organizations. He is a Director of Buffalo Place, Inc., a Trustee of Bishop Timon/St. Jude High School, a Director of Buffalo Civic Auto Ramps, and a former Director of the Horizons Waterfront Commission. He is also former member of the Executive Board of the Niagara Frontier Council of the Boy Scouts of America, and the Advisory Boards of Erie Community College and D’Youville College. Carl is also a former Trustee of St. Bonaventure University and past Chairman of the Buildings and Grounds Committee, having presided over the planning and construction of many of the physical improvements and renovations seen at the college today.
In 1991, Carl was honored by the City of Buffalo as Buffalonian of the Year and in 1993 as Alumnus of the Year by St. Bonaventure University. Most recently, Leadership Buffalo honored Carl with the Leadership Impact Award for having the vision, energy and commitment in the removal of the tollbooths on the city’s borders.
A life-long resident of the City of Buffalo, Carl is honored to be married to Mary Catherine Hannon and is blessed with three children: William, Danielle, and Patrick; and 3 grandchildren, Carl William and Grace Catherine, Claire Ryan.

When the INSANE are running the ASYLUM In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule. -- Friedrich Nietzsche

Great CEO... You left out the part : "Paladino signed the plea bargain to a felony charge." ~
Business men are fined all the time for 'civil' offenses. If they make a mistake and do work out of code, they may be fined with a 'civil penalty'.
Mistakes happen all the time... When you intentionally defraud, you may face "criminal" felony charges.
Paladino plead to the felony and paid a $500,000 fine.
The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness. John Kenneth Galbraith

Does it really matter? Paladino has as much of a chance beating Cuomo in a blue state like NY, as I have beating Usain Bolt (Olympic champ) in a 100 meter dash.

Martha Stewart served time as an 'example'.......you dont really think these folks (dems/reps) are not in the 'know'? Who said Carl was Christ? Who said Obama is Christ? Who said Bush is Christ?.......honestly they are all just people.....but their PERSONAL/MORAL leanings have no right in the arena......
you dont get to tell me who to marry you dont get to tell what religion you favor you dont get to tell me whether to have abortion or not you dont get to tell me the dumbass calorie counts at Chilis you dont get to tell me I cant have a cigar you dont get to take my hard earned money and give it to someone else etc etc
you get to manage the borders, the streets, the lights, the public schools, the police, the fire, the public transportation, the water supply etc etc........
now if he can keep his mouth shut and do business that would be great.....same with any politico......but this aint your daddys election of the past anymore......
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
