ROI Influencers: Real Estate 2022
Adenah Bayoh
CEO
Adenah Bayoh & Cos.
She builds restaurants (Urban Vegan, Cornbread and as the franchisee of numerous IHOPs) and multifamily housing (in Newark and nearby areas). She is a one-woman economic development engine (see the impact of 915 Broad St. in Newark). Bayoh, however, is so much more than that. She is about giving others an opportunity (see her proposed 40-unit affordable housing complex in Newark’s South Ward). Her personal story (she immigrated to the U.S. at age 13 when her family escaped the civil war in her native country of Liberia) makes her the epitome of the American Dream.
