A Foundation Built on Integrity, Vision, and Results.

With over four decades in real estate and development, David Knight brings a rare depth of experience and a clear sense of purpose to every project. His career began at Amli Realty, where he led large-scale mixed-use developments, before founding Knight Davidson Companies and co-founding Walton Communities — where he helped deliver more than 10,000 apartment homes and built a reputation for integrity, quality, and long-term vision.

David’s work has spanned every asset class and corridor of the real estate landscape, but his focus has remained constant: creating places that deliver lasting value — financially and socially. He’s led construction teams, guided strategic acquisitions, and helped shape conversations around affordable housing across Georgia.

Today, through KNT Real Estate, David collaborates with partners to continue this work, aligning investment with impact and building legacies that matter.
