Commercial Observer: Top Young Professionals feat. Amir Abdu

Amir Abdu, 34, was recently named Managing Director of Investments at BGO, where he now oversees the firm’s U.S. data center and powered land strategy. Despite a high school career test offering no guidance, Abdu carved his own path through internships at Goldman Sachs and a role at GreenOak (now BGO), steadily rising through the ranks since 2015. As one of the youngest to be promoted to Managing Director at BGO, he played a key role in the firm’s top-performing multifamily asset, which saw a 50% rental income increase post-renovation. He also co-developed BGO’s powered land strategy alongside Co-CEO John Carrafiell, targeting land for potential data center redevelopment.
