John has been in commercial real estate since 1995, following a decade in general construction where he focused predominantly on municipal contracts. His development knowledge leverages a solid foundation in industrial tenant representation assignments gained while with Colliers Pinkard (Columbia). He also mastered the Baltimore-Washington corridor tenant base and land inventory as the firm’s land specialist. Overseeing McShea & Company, Inc.’s Columbia office for five years, John performed tenant representation assignments while leasing and managing a 700,000 sq. ft. office and industrial portfolio (half of which sold in a 1031 Exchange and Investment acquisition). As an active broker in the Baltimore-Washington corridor, John’s deals have been split between relet and development deals as industrial, office, and retail transactions, specifically along the Route 1 corridor in Baltimore, Howard, and Prince George’s counties. Serving two years on both the Route 1 Revitalization Committee (Steering Committee), the Board of Directors and (co-chair) Economic Development Committee of the Baltimore-Washington Corridor Chamber (BWCC), he has a strong knowledge of the tenants, landlords/property owners, and development opportunities from south of Baltimore to the District of Columbia. John’s client base ranges from small, locally owned concerns to national/multi-location firms, institutional/pension funds and developers. With a tenant representation core business, other assignments include: User building sales and leasing, Office/industrial/retail /land development, and Office/retail/industrial portfolio leasing, management, disposition, and acquisition
