About BLD Properties

Who We Are

BLD Properties LLC is a Boston-based real estate development firm specializing in multifamily housing that strengthens communities and creates long-term value. Founded in 2025 by Kenan Bigby, an industry leader with more than two decades of experience and over $1 billion in completed developments, BLD Properties is dedicated to delivering housing that addresses the challenges of today while planning for the future. Our mission is simple: to “BLD” (build) a brighter future through developments that combine quality design, innovative financing, and sustainable building practices. With expertise in public/private partnerships, we bring together municipalities, nonprofits, and private investors to deliver projects that foster economic opportunity, community resilience, and environmental responsibility. BLD Properties is more than a developer – we’re a trusted partner working side by side with community stakeholders to build a lasting legacy.
