The Inner City 100 program recognizes successful inner city businesses and their CEOs as role models for entrepreneurship, innovative business practices, and job creation in America’s urban communities. Honorees are ranked according to revenue growth against their sector peers, as well as against inner city companies overall.
The Menkiti Group reported 2013 revenues of $11.8 million and a gross 5-year growth rate of 526% percent. Keller Williams Capital Properties reported 2013 revenues of $38 million and a gross 5-year growth rate of 473%.
The Menkiti Group was founded in 2004 by social entrepreneur Bo Menkiti, with a mission to transform lives and communities through real estate. The company’s approach to urban neighborhood transformation is centered upon residential and commercial development, sales, and leasing. In 2006, Mr. Menkiti formed the Keller Williams Capital Properties brokerage with partners Brandon Green, Carlos Garcia, Jason Martin, and Joel Nelson. In eight years the brokerage has grown to five offices throughout DC, Maryland, and Virginia, with nearly 600 associate agents and over $1.3 Billion in 2013 sales.
“We have been committed to the transformation of urban neighborhoods since the inception of the Menkiti Group,” stated Mr. Menkiti. “Our mission and indeed our success as a company are premised upon investing in emerging urban markets that have traditionally been resource deprived, but culturally rich. It is in this space that we partner with communities to fully harness the value of their existing cultural and physical assets and to drive economic development that enhances the fabric of life for all residents.” Mr. Menkiti was recently recognized by the Washington Business Journal as a 2014 Minority Business Leader.
