A Celebration of Leadership in Real Estate
The Grandview Consulting Group, under the dynamic leadership of President Steven Horton, stands as a beacon in the real estate development arena.

The Issue of Representation
As Steven Horton points out, "The real estate sector in the United States is a multi-trillion-dollar industry with hardly one percent participation by Black real estate developers." This stark statistic highlights the urgent need for greater inclusion and representation in this lucrative field. Horton's dedication to this cause, alongside fellow awardee Forward Thinkers Development, emphasizes their commitment to driving change in the industry.
Transformative Projects and Community Impact
The Grandview Consulting Group focuses on projects that not only drive economic growth but also revitalize communities. The firm's efforts demonstrate how Black real estate developers can deliver both exceptional projects and positive community outcomes. These initiatives are essential for providing a healthy return on investment, while also enhancing the quality of life for community members.
Partnerships That Make a Difference
Alongside Kenneth Plummer, President of Forward Thinkers Development, The Grandview Consulting Group has engaged in significant collaborative ventures. One notable project includes a partnership with a national developer, resulting in the creation of over 425 units of workforce housing.
