He's Holy I'm Knott Welcomes one of Baltimore's most respected Developers Mark Renbaum Principal at MLR Partners

So if you're looking for a conversation about development you might want to find yourself by the Pool at the Maryland Party at the ICSC Conference in Las Vegas Nevada.

Rev. Al and I couldn't be more pleased to have the opportunity to catch up with Mark Renbaum, a friend, and a man on a mission to bring a Transit Oriented Development to Lutherville, Maryland. 

Mark's firm owns the old Caldor site and is looking to redevelop that site as a transit oriented residential and commercial developement. He's also developing in the City with David Bramble at Northwood Plaza adjacent to Morgan plus he's involved in the redevelopment of Madison Park at the 800 Block of North Ave, a place that hasn't been invested in for too long. 

Mark takes the community approach, he understands that the community needs to be involved and he is working with them on prioritizing green space in Lutherville and delivering the ammenities that support a strong community.  Look at the transformation of Northwood by two of Baltimore's best  developers, a once blighted property now thriving with great retailers and a new grocery store for the community and it has all the amenties that the Morgan students want.

Lutherville is next and the investment in that property is going take the value from 9 million to over 200 million dollars.  The taxpayers paid for the light rail a long time ago, we should be maximizing it's use, this development improves the ROI for taxpayers and we all agree that we should be maximizing transit oriented development where ever we can. 

This is Holy work and Rev Al says Mark is a Holy man!  Come along for this lesson in development, he really is one of Baltimore's best. 

Thanks Mark for coming on to talk about your work and this incredible development in Lutherville, we can wait to see it when it's done!
