Mastin & Kufka and Company leading
Retail Mix effort for City Center at Oyster Point

Experienced team has impressive legacy in “urban places”

As the merchandising mix of City Center at Oyster Point is unveiled, the selective and thoughtful process of careful choices by Mastin & Kufka and Company, will be evident to everyone. The team of Debra Mastin and Mark Kufka has come to Newport News with a very specific mandate: deliver a retail environment which is urban focused in a non-anchored setting that is unduplicated in the marketplace.

Both Deb and Mark have gathered an impressive leasing history during their tenure with The Rouse Company. Their passion for creating places which define communities with retail environments where consumers can walk, shop and enjoy is easily understood when looking at a sample of completed projects: Bayside (Miami); Harborplace (Baltimore); Faneuil Hall (Boston); South Street Seaport (New York); Mall in Columbia (Columbia, MD); The Waterfront (Pittsburgh, PA).
