The leaders in the DC commercial real estate industry come from different backgrounds and, in some cases, made their bones and fortunes in other fields. For example, one founded the first television network for African Americans, another was a noted banker and still another has made headlines as the managing principal owner of the Washington Nationals. Yet the common thread among these titans are that they have each put their personal mark on this area through their investment in time, capital and imagination. All without exception are also heavily involved in civic and philanthropic causes that benefit thousands and make living in the DC area that much better. Here’s a look at some individuals who have helped shape—continue to influence—the local market.
