Our Real Estate team was instrumental in helping guide the redevelopment of the old hospital site in the historic district of downtown Annapolis into one of the city’s most desirable residential communities by working closely with city officials and representatives of the surrounding Murray Hill neighborhood. Today, Acton’s Landing is a mix of multifamily condominium units, townhouses and single-family homes with a mix of public and private park space. We also paved the way for the Maryland Live! Casino to locate to the Arundel Mills Mall complex, helping it to continue as one of the Mid-Atlantic region’s most prominent shopping, entertainment and hospitality destinations – and one of the state’s major employment centers and revenue generators.
Hyatt & Weber’s headquarters, in the 82,000-square-foot Severn Bank Building in downtown Annapolis, is another testament to our ability to successfully coordinate complex real estate deals. Our Real Estate team helped assemble parcels of land for the building, reconfigured traffic patterns and coordinated engineers to create a signature structure that helped spark the revitalization of the Inner West Street neighborhood. The building’s landmark “green roof” – the first of its kind on a commercial building in the city – was designed to reduce rainwater runoff to the Chesapeake Bay and save energy.
