About Shaffer Development

Shaffer Development LLC specializes in assembling parcels and redeveloping complex infill projects in Ozaukee County, with a distinct focus on creating thriving communities rather than solely developing properties. Our primary goal is to enrich the community and foster meaningful connections among its residents. As Founder and President of the company since 2001, Cindy Shaffer leads the team's efforts to ensure each project contributes positively to the overall well-being and growth of the community.

With a track record of nearly $100 Million in successful development projects, we take pride in our dedication to not only build, but also manage our developments. In recognition of our dedication to community enrichment, Shaffer Development was honored with the 2016 Business of The Year award by the Mequon-Thiensville Chamber of Commerce, while Cindy Shaffer received well-deserved recognition as a Woman of Influence by the Milwaukee Business Journal in 2018.

A graduate of the University of Wisconsin Madison with a degree in marketing and communications, Shaffer's experience includes working for S.C. Johnson and Sons, Marriott Corporation, The Mandel Group and Fiduciary Real Estate Development. She broke into real estate over 20 years ago by converting duplexes into condominiums. Since then, Shaffer has developed the Mequon Town Center, developed the Grafton 1505 Apartments, Spur 16, and her team is working on multiple projects that should be breaking ground within the next year.

"She's just a go-getter, and willing to put in the time to get done what she needs to get done" says Glenn Stadler, Executive Vice President-Chief Lending Officer at Westbury Bank. Shaffer is both a volunteer and sponsor of many community organizations and was previously the president of the Mequon-Thiensville Rotary Club. When asked about her business Shaffer says, "I am not in the property business, I am in the people business.”
