We understand The challenges behind every property development project.
Real estate development isn’t just about breaking ground — it’s about building confidence. When timelines slip, communication breaks down, or too many vendors get involved, even the strongest opportunities lose momentum.
Whittaker Knez Group was founded to solve that problem. We bring clarity to complexity, unifying development, design, construction, and management under one accountable partner. The result: fewer handoffs, reduced risk, and a smoother path from idea to completion.

Our story:
Two entrepreneurs.
one shared vision.
Whittaker Knez was founded in 2023 by Sean Whittaker and Bo Knez — two Ohio-rooted leaders who saw the need for a more unified, accountable approach to real estate development. What began as a shared vision has quickly grown into a trusted name for thoughtful, high-quality projects across the country.
While their individual journeys are different, Sean and Bo share core values — family, stewardship, community, and a belief in building with integrity. These values guide the way they lead, the way they work, and the way they serve the clients and partners who trust them with meaningful projects.
The values that guide every project we build.
Rooted in personal values shaped by their faith, our founders lead with integrity, accountability, and a genuine respect for the people we serve.
These values translate into a development approach focused on excellence, transparency, and reliable execution.
