Additionally, it will be the largest speculative building ever constructed in the county, and one of the biggest ever in Maryland.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cBaltimore and D.C. is the third-largest consolidated metro area in the country and we can get to a third of the U.S. within one day\u2019s drive, so it truly is one of the top-tier investor markets in the country,\u201d<\/em> Laraway said. <em>\u201cWith an overall vacancy rate under 10 percent and a bulk Class A vacancy rate under 5 percent, I think we\u2019re serving the population here regionally as well as super regionally.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The site is located within the Brandon Wood Business Park, a community originally developed by Constellation Real Estate, with sites developed and leased to companies with large distribution and warehouse requirements including Reliable Churchill, Fila USA and Under Armour.<\/p>\n<p>David Baird of Cushman &amp; Wakefield represented the seller in this transaction.<\/p>\n<h2>An active Mid-Atlantic developer<\/h2>\n<p>CREG has also recently developed projects totaling 571,000 square feet in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/creg-usaa-sign-tenant-for-large-maryland-distribution-facility\/\">Harford County<\/a>, 435,000 square feet in Baltimore County, and has a 413,000-square-foot building in Baltimore City currently under construction.<\/p>\n<p>In 2017, the company also acquired more than 100 acres in Harford County for the development of about 400,000 square feet of space.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cOur company philosophy is to build quality industrial projects and to be a quality home for businesses and we consider our core geographic area by 95 in the Mid-Atlantic,\u201d <\/em>Laraway said.<em> \u201cWe\u2019re building this with an institutional partner, which we have done successfully since the company has started.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The hope is to break ground this year and have the first building up by the third quarter of 2018.<\/p>\n<p><em>Image courtesy of Chesapeake Real Estate Group<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The company will partner with EverWest Real Estate Partners on phase one of construction, which will consist of a 500,000-square-foot speculative warehouse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":451,"featured_media":1004188081,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1579,21743,21782,21808,21748,11,21742],"tags":[37334,33553,34805,33136],"class_list":["post-1004188079","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-baltimore","category-deals","category-development","category-featured","category-industrial","category-midatlantic","category-latest","tag-anne-arundel-county","tag-chesapeake-real-estate-group","tag-everwest-real-estate-partners","tag-exelon-corporation"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
