History

Manekin takes great pride in an outstanding reputation and record of achievement, celebrating more than 60 years of commercial real estate success.

Beginning with our first headquarters in Baltimore, Manekin played a central role in the redevelopment of the city’s Central Business District. After completing our first development project, The Rotunda, in 1967, early development along the Baltimore-Washington Corridor soon followed. Manekin was a pioneer in Howard County, as one of the first real estate developers to work with the Rouse Company and its financial partners when Columbia’s business expansion was still in the planning stage.

Farsighted in service expansion and land development along the I-270 corridor in Frederick, Manekin constructed some of the largest corporate headquarters and campuses in an area that has since become the center for Maryland’s technology development.

That strategic vision was again apparent in Harford and Cecil Counties, with ongoing commercial and residential land development projects between the I-95 and Route 40 corridors, which are well positioned for BRAC (Base Relocation and Closure) and defense-related development. The southern anchor of this growth corridor is located in Charles and Saint Mary’s Counties, which represent dynamic future markets for Manekin and its clients.
