Curbed DC featured an article on our proposed development plans for the MLK Gateway project in Historic Anacostia. The Menkiti Group has partnered with Enlightened, Inc. to form MLK Gateway Community Partners (MGCP, LLC), creating a 100% minority-owned, local District-based entity to redevelop the site.

HERE is an overview of with more details on our proposed project.

The riverside neighborhood of Anacostia and its surrounding East of the River communities are known for their strong sense of community and rich history, and it is our vision that our proposed development project will serve as a catalyst for a thriving, diverse, and economically vibrant commercial corridor.

CurbedDC reported: “There are two finalists for the Request for Proposals (RFP) for Anacostia’s MLK Gateway, which was introduced during the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development’s (DMPED) March Madness event. This “Gateway” is located at 1201-1215 Good Hope Road SE and 1909 Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue SE with plans for small to medium scaled commercial and mixed-use developments.”
