The MCB strategy is to use its local influence and relationships to identify “under or off the radar” retail, office and/or light industrial real estate opportunities in the Baltimore-Washington region. In addition, our primary emphasis and focus is on office properties (particularly smaller Class B products with less than 100,000 square feet in a single building), light industrial and retail properties. We then identify, enhance and capture unrecognized value through the acquisition, development, redevelopment, management and repositioning of these properties.

The MCB advantage:

1) A reputation of handling complex, labor-intensive projects that are either unattractive, too complex or inefficient for others to take on profitably.

2) A focus on only product types and markets where MCB has an experiential advantage, or where MCB has identified additional partners with applicable market experience.

3) A hyper-developed network of relationships that often give MCB access to specific and detailed information during due diligence: information that is frequently difficult for others to easily obtain.

4) A focus on asset classes and sizes for which it would be both inefficient for large institutional investors to acquire/develop and difficult for smaller under-capitalized or inexperienced investors to execute.

5) A willingness to “pass” on projects that, while attractive, do not meet MCB’s disciplined commitment to only execute on deals with true potential for meeting MCB profit model(s).

6) Frequent access to proprietary deal flow.

7) The ability to invest alongside equity partners in transactions.

8) Internal talent that allows MCB to remain nimble and make exceptionally fast and accurate determinations as to a project’s true, and often unique, “value proposition.”

9) Operating primarily in markets where MCB has the ability to structure and execute unique, off-market deals for higher cash flow and value-add exits.
