Bo Rushing
President / CEO
503-588-8500 Office
Bo launched her real estate career in 1996 as a broker. Within just two years, she was recognized nationally when Prudential named her the #1 commercial real estate agent in the country. That same year, she founded her first development company, focusing on building retail centers for national brands while continuing her work with Prudential.
In 2001, Bo established Rushing Real Estate, Inc., and by 2003, she had expanded into construction and property management. To streamline her growing portfolio, she created The Rushing Group, bringing all of her companies together under one umbrella.
As CEO, Bo’s vision, determination, and creativity have guided Multi Construction in designing and delivering more than 450,000 square feet of retail and multifamily projects. Her team specializes in ground-up shopping centers and apartment communities, as well as tenant improvements for a wide range of clients—from national retailers to government agencies at the state, city, and county levels, along with housing authorities and nonprofits.
Bo is known for her straightforward, results-driven approach: completing projects on time, under budget, and with a focus on creating spaces where people want to live, work, and gather. A full client list is available upon request.
