Kyle Family Investments
Managing Member

John Page Kyle is the managing member of Kyle Family Investments, LLC (“KFI”), a privately held company holding interests in real property, mortgage loans, and marketable securities in addition to cash and short-term liquidity instruments held in order to participate in similar future longer-term potential investment vehicles. The KFI portfolio includes a partial ownership interest of approximately 1.2 million square feet of operating small bay industrial warehouses and offices. Having applied low leverage and a high level of ongoing management, this portfolio has achieved a substantial and positive performance even during the ongoing pandemic.

Kyle earned his BA in English from the College of William & Mary in 1967 and then entered the management training program at Equitable Trust Bank (“Equitable”) in Baltimore, Maryland. He then supplemented his literary education with courses at Johns Hopkins University in accounting, real estate law, management, and appraisal as well as data processing. At that time, Johns Hopkins did not offer an MBA program, so he earned his MBA from Loyola University in 1974. 

As a result of his ongoing education and upward mobility at Equitable, Kyle’s management position there evolved into purchasing and leasing real estate for new branches and renegotiating leases for existing branch office locations. He also assembled most of a downtown Baltimore block for bank employee parking. In addition, he headed up the planning process for a new bank headquarters building. The Bank of America subsequently acquired Equitable.

Seeking a more entrepreneurial career, in 1979 Kyle left the bank to become a commercial real estate broker with Coldwell Banker (now CBRE) where he rapidly enjoyed considerable success, primarily selling and leasing buildings and land in the path of development in downtown Washington. His chosen career path continued as his “mainstay” with several firms over the intervening years until about ten years ago when he decided more fully to concentrate on the ongoing investment management of KFI.

Since 1995, Kyle has served on the Real Estate Advisory Committee at Johns Hopkins Carey Business School and its predecessor, the Berman Institute of the School of Professional Studies in Business and Education, which he chaired in 2001.

Having qualified for four USGA National Amateur Tournaments, John Kyle formerly played competitive golf, but his game today would cause anyone – including himself – to wonder that he ever could have played proficiently.
