Howard/Arundel REPORT
An Independent, Bi-Weekly Newsletter on Real Estate Development
Volume 18, Number 4
In Brief…
The property that once
housed Annapolis Seafood is
headed for a different use.
This time, it will be cars instead
of crabs. A partnership headed
by Ferrigne Holdings paid $1.3
million for the property at 3105
Solomon’s Island Road in
Annapolis. Ferrigne owns
several dealerships around the
area, though it won’t be using
its newest acquisition for sales.
Instead, zoned C-3, the tract
can accommodate auxiliary
services like auto detailing and
the like.
Lou Hyatt at Hyatt Commercial
brokered the sale.
…..The land for a new
Goddard School in Ellicott
City has transferred.
Darnestown Development,
LLC, headed by Ross Flax,
paid $940,000 for just under an
acre of B-1 zoned land at 5633
Waterloo Road, in Ellicott City.
Flax is a Goddard School
veteran who proposes a 9,600
square foot building at this
particular location.
Seller Capital One inherited the
site when it bought Chevy
Chase FSB some years back. It
has, over the last year,
gradually been selling off the
properties that once were
planned as bank branches.

Jessup is Happening
Flurry of Route 175 Deals on the Industrial Side
Two just-completed sales and a coming land acquisition have suddenly made Jessup a
happening place, industrially speaking.
The three deals are these: Elite Spice bought the building it already occupied at 7751
Waterloo Road; a partnership headed by Concrete General Inc. bought eight acres at
7551 Old Jessup Road; and Transwestern is slated to buy approximately 20 acres on
which it will build a new spec warehouse. All three deals are taking place off Route
175 close to Oceano Avenue, near Dorsey Run Road.
Elite acquired 7751 Waterloo Road from a partnership headed by F.O. Day Company
in Rockville. Elite had signed a long-term lease just a couple years ago at the 158,400
square foot building, but can tear that paper up if it wants; it’s the landlord now.
In the second deal, Transwestern is slated to buy 20 acres, close to the Elite Spice
building and also off Route 175. The company plans to get into the spec warehouse
game with a 155,000 square foot building, as first reported by the Business Journal,
and has been negotiating to bring Principal Financial Group in as an equity partner.
Finally, as TRI M Properties, Concrete General paid $2 million for 7551 Old Jessup
Road, where it will move its operations from Montgomery County. David Fritz and
Bill Martien of NAI / KLNB repped the seller, while Patraic Weymouth of Waverly
R/E. Group brought the buyer.
Tom Whelan of Lee & Associates brokered the Elite Spice warehouse deal.
Developer Looking to Expand SP Center
Preparing to expand the property more than ten-fold, a Baltimore developer has
enlarged its Severna Park retail center by over eight acres.
Maryland Financial Investors paid approximately $500,000 for 8.23 acres at Magothy
Bridge Road and Route 2, where it already owns the northwest corner. The new
acreage is zoned residential, but can provide MFI with reforestation potential or a
similar use.
According to its website, MFI wants to redevelop the small strip center of today with
a nearly 100,000 square foot inline center and two pad sites. It already has CVS lined
up for a third pad site. Right now, MFI is in the hunting stage, as its website declares
it is ‘looking for an Anchor.’ Dennis Murphy of Murphy Commercial brokered the
ground sale.

Greenfield Busy
On Office Buys
Hampshire Plans Riva Makeover
Buying suburban office space
isn’t in vogue in some quarters,
but Greenfield Partners continues
to add to its office holdings here
The Connecticut-based firm
bucked the trend again in settling
on a huge portfolio of office
properties at the end of January,
this one sold by Liberty Property
Trust. Locally, with its multibuilding purchases from Prologis
and COPT, Greenfield has gone
‘long’ on the local office market
like no other player. But
Greenfield has further broken the
mold by dipping its hand into
residential. Greenfield is the
developer behind the plan for 205
townhouses on the W.R. Grace
property on Route 32.
Greenfield’s newest acquisition
gives it a pair of Annapolis
buildings, and a foothold in that
market, at 180 and 190 Admiral
Cochrane Drive.
It also picked up 251,000 square
feet in six buildings at 6200 to
6250 Old Dobbin Road in
Columbia, and another 265,000
feet at 9755 – 9820 Patuxent
Woods Drive.
Planning Board
Decisions in HoCo
The Board approved a site plan
for additional age-restricted
housing in ‘Waverly Woods.
Another 112 units can be added to
the Waverly Woods project,
developed by an affiliate of Land
Design & Development.
The Board also backed the 195
single-family lots at the ‘Estates
at Patapsco Park,’ located at
Routes 99 and 29.
Annapolis may get another shot of Class A office space, this from a Riva Road
building for which a full makeover is planned.
The Hampshire Companies unveiled its plan for redeveloping 2510 Riva Road in
Annapolis into a LEED Certified Silver headquarters facility. It includes adding
approximately 30,000 square feet to the presently 67,000 foot building, creating a
93,660 foot structure. Hampshire, based in Morristown, NJ, signed architect Kohn
Pederson Fox up to design the remodel, which could start this year. Whether
Hampshire goes ‘spec’ or waits for an anchor tenant remains to be seen.
Re-use plans for 2510 Riva have been long-awaited in the local market, at least
since Verizon exited the building in 2009. Verizon had sold the building and taken
a leaseback before completely vacating.
Hampshire believes the Riva building’s location just off 50 and 97, and opposite
the Annapolis Towne Centre, make it a corporate headquarters location, and that’s
where the marketing effort will start. MacKenzie Commercial Real Estate has the
listing.
Jessup Warehouse Land Coming to Market
A couple of pieces of industrial ground – slated to be bisected by Dorsey Run Road
– will go on the market, courtesy of the county.
The County bought the Mears property in Jessup late last year, needing it for the
completion of the new Dorsey Run. Zoned M-2, it will be severed by the new road,
which should be under construction this year. Its sale will provide two
opportunities: one to buy it and one to broker it. If a Resolution now before the
County Council is approved, the county’s real estate office will advertise for a
broker to do the marketing.
According to the Resolution, its 22.5 acres along Lennox Road. The Resolution
says that when considering bids for the purchase of the ground, it may ‘consider the
relocation of existing businesses to promote Route 1 revitalization goals. The
Resolution is 29-2014.
Craftstar Nearing the End of ‘Riverwalk’
The final townhouse is for sale at Riverwalk. The Craftstar Homes job in Laurel
has had a good run, in part because the local competition, some five builders strong
when Riverwalk opened, melted away in close-outs. And the subdivision overlooks
the Middle Patuxent River, coursing through the stream valley in back.
What started as 52 units and six MIHU is down to the model. Craftstar opened for
sales in the spring of 2012, when Williamsburg, Liberty, SK Homes, Miller and
Smith and KB were all crossing swords in Emerson. But all things must pass and
Emerson did too, leaving Craftmark to largely work the Laurel market alone.
The builder posted 12 settlements in 2012, averaging $400,000 apiece, and in 2013,
added another 27, bumped up to an average of $428,887. Craftstar had bought the
lots in a bulk takedown from Elm Street Development, at $100,000 apiece, but had
Elm Street finish them under a separate contract.

Howard / Arundel Report
Village Getting
County Help
By buying two properties in Long
Reach Village in Columbia, the
county hopes to put a stop to
increasing blight, and start the
revitalization process.
A resolution before the County
Council identifies two properties of
7.57 and .133 acres in the Village
slated for acquisition, but the same
resolution suggests the county is
ready to buy more. In short, the
resolution declares the commercial
part of the Village an Urban
Renewal Project.
Long Reach has had a difficult
time competing with newer centers
in Columbia, but its revitalization
by the county seems sparked in
part by the housing department’s
acquisition last year of the Verona
Apartments. Local residents
questioned whether that meant they
had to prepare for more affordable
units in an already-suffering
Village Center.
The bigger piece the county wants
to buy is most of the retail section,
owned by America’s Realty,
though the acquisition doesn’t
include the former Safeway space
and several other spaces. The
building formerly leased to
Safeway, and for a short time to
Family Market, is slated to be
occupied by Celebration Church.
The county hasn’t yet decided how
it would redevelop the properties
once it gets hold of them, but will
likely wait at least until April when
a local market study commissioned
by the Columbia Association and
the county Economic Development
Authority is finished. One idea is
to relocate the Howard County
Arts Council from Ellicott City
into the center.

AA Builders Split More Sales
More settlements, higher prices, more subdivisions. 2013 in Anne Arundel was a
year of improvement for homebuilders over 2012, as the number of homes settled
over the year climbed from 813 in 2012 to 976 in 2013.
Prices went in the same direction. Where the average single in 2012 closed at
$508,394, the average was up to $543,142 in 2013, a 6.8 percent gain across the
county. Towns enjoyed a bigger jump as average prices climbed from $320,287 to
$365,353 year to year, a 14 percent gain.
The average price of a condominium was also up, from $284,478 to $313,617, a
bump of 10.2 percent.
Singles-wise, the runaway settlement champ in 2013 was ‘Coldwater Reserve.’
The fact it has three builders – Ryland, D.R. Horton and Mandrin – didn’t hurt
output, but the Severn subdivision easily bested all comers. Second place in
settlements went to Lennar, at Tanyard Springs, and Lennar again at Highland
Farm in Gambrills.
There was no runaway among the townhouse communities. Lennar closed 57 at
‘Fieldstone’ to claim first place, but NVR was in hot pursuit, getting 55 at
Creekside Village. Right behind were M/I and KHovnanian at the ‘Pointe at
Arundel Preserve.’

Howard / Arundel Report
A Leasing Trend
Does three major build-to-suit industrial
efforts constitute a ‘trend?’
If so, then one is underway in the
Corridor market, where Coca-Cola and
Feld Entertainment have both
negotiated new building deals, and
Coastal Produce wants to. It seems
evidence that corporate America has
woken up a bit in the leasing market,
even if the ‘mom and pop’ smaller
industrial companies haven’t.
It appears that the sizable logistics users
are finding that even in doubling their
rent at a new building, the functional
improvements in height and column
spacing pay off in the long run.
Companies that were paying mid-$3’s
per foot are opting for space above $6 a
foot, willingly.
Will more follow? Several developers
are lining up spec possibilities to test
the theory, including Trammell Crow at
the former Kopflex property in Severn,
and Transwestern buying ground in
Jessup for a new building.
The Deal Sheet
Network Building & Consulting LLC is
headed to 6095 Marshalee Drive in
Elkridge, at the Lyndwood Executive
Center. Network signed a 20,211 square
foot lease with the Newtower Trust
Company Multi-Employer Property
Trust. Jonathan Green of NAI KLNB
and Dan Callahan of CBRE brokered
the deal;

New Home Closings
Ellicott City Set the Pace in ‘13
Ellicott City got much of the new home business in 2013. And the most
tenacious competition in single-family settlements there came down to NVR
battling it out for local domination against um, NVR.
Basically, NVR claimed spots One, Two and Three in closing single-family
deals in Ellicott City. Its ‘Locust Chapel’ job on Landing Road led the way,
with 31 closings. But it recorded another 19 at Mount Hebron Overlook, and
scored 18 at ‘Autumn River,’ on College Avenue.
Not until the Fourth spot does a builder without the letters NVR in its name –
well, in a row at least – enter the picture. That would be Winchester, in
closing 12 units in ‘Riverwood,’ off Homewood Road. In all, 118 new singles
were settled in the zip codes 21042 and 21043 in 2013, or over one-fifth of
the 502 single-family settlements recorded.
Townhouse closings in Ellicott City were a more diverse affair. Bozzuto’s 35
closings, averaging, $475,225, set the pace, while Richmond American and
NVR had 32 each at Rockland at Rogers and Ellicott Crossing. In all, 110 of
Howard County’s 431 townhouse closings went to Ellicott City jobs.

Market scuttlebutt says the ARINC
campus in Annapolis is under contract.
The company was sold to Rockwell
Collins last year, which took over a
master lease for the six-building,
343,790 square foot campus on Riva
Road. At almost 28 acres and 11 years
remaining on the lease, the new owner
would await either a re-up by Arinc, or
redevelopment potential down the road.
CBRE is marketing the campus.
