Lives, Careers,
and Communities through Real Estate
Bo Menkiti is dedicated to transforming lives, careers, and communities through real estate. With a focus on strengthening neighborhoods and fostering urban economic development, Bo is committed to creating positive impact through strategic real estate initiatives.
Bo Menkiti is the Founder and CEO of The Menkiti Group, a vertically integrated real estate company dedicated to neighborhood transformation with a double bottom line—measuring success through financial returns and lasting community impact.
Before founding The Menkiti Group in 2004, Bo began his career in management consulting and went on to serve as Chief Operating Officer of College Summit, a national nonprofit focused on expanding college access for low-income students. There, he saw firsthand how opportunity could reshape the trajectory of lives and communities—an insight that ultimately inspired him to build a real estate company with impact at its core.
Since then, he has overseen nearly $400M of investment and more than 4.7M SF of development, with over 3.5M SF currently in the pipeline, including catalytic projects across the Mid-Atlantic and New England. Through the Obsidian Catalyst Fund I, he is advancing access to capital for minority and under represented developers nationwide.
Bo is also the Founder, and for twenty years, served as the CEO of Keller Williams Capital Properties. Under his leadership, KWCP closed over $30B in sales, assisted 60,000 families in realizing the Power of Home, and was recognized as the largest black-owned brokerage in America, and the second fastest growing real estate brokerage of any kind in the U.S.
His leadership has been recognized nationally—named by Ernest & Young as EY Entrepreneur of the Year, Developer of the Year by DCBIA, honored as CEO of the Year by the Washington Business Journal, and named to the industry coveted Swanepoel Power 200 List multiple years.
A graduate of Harvard University and the Roxbury Latin School, a former two-sport Division I athlete, and father of four boys, Bo brings vision, discipline, and a deep commitment to transforming lives, careers, and communities through real estate.
