MLK Gateway DC

Last week we celebrated the groundbreaking of Phase Two of the historic MLK Gateway project in Anacostia which paves the way for a completed gateway to Historic Anacostia that drives neighborhood impact by early 2023.

"It is an honor to celebrate the groundbreaking of the second phase of this transformative project alongside city officials, partners, and Anacostia residents and business owners who all share a similar belief in the power and potential of this community," said Bo Menkiti, Founder and CEO, The Menkiti Group.

Yesterday was an incredibly special day as we hosted a ceremony honoring a few major milestones at MLK Gateway, a historic project in Anacostia. Along with Mayor Muriel Bowser, we celebrated the ribbon cutting and completion of Phase I of the project and groundbreaking of Phase II of the project.

“At The Menkiti Group we have remained diligent over the last 17 years to pursue our mission of transforming lives, careers, and communities through real estate and this project is a testament to our commitment to enhancing the fabric of life in America’s urban communities. We are proud to celebrate this significant milestone in bringing to life the community’s vision for the historic MLK Gateway alongside partners who share a similar commitment to driving neighborhood impact for Anacostia. We look forward to continuing to work with the community to show the power and strength of D.C. residents east of the river.” – Bo Menkiti, Founder and CEO, The Menkiti Group

“At the intersection of Good Hope Road and Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue, construction crews hustle daily to complete MLK Gateway, a two-phased project that will soon bring mixed-use space and several hundred square feet of retail business to Anacostia.” - The Washington Informer
