Real Estate

Himmelrich Associates, founded in 1986, is a Baltimore-based real estate firm focused on repositioning and adapting industrial properties for commercial uses. The company, led by Samuel K. Himmelrich, Jr., has pursued challenging redevelopment projects and has successfully revived properties encumbered by brownfields, flood plains, historic buildings, challenging neighborhoods and unproven markets. Two of the firm's earliest projects were in an industrial area in south Baltimore, which was at the time an unproven neighborhood for real estate development. Subsequently, the firm redeveloped two 19th Century historic mills in the Jones Falls Valley, including Meadow Mill and Mt. Washington Mill, home to Whole Foods, Starbucks, Mt. Washington Wine Co., Dogma, PNC Bank, Siquis, other small retailers and a bustling business center.Following the mill projects, Himmelrich Associates made a major leap in scale developing Baltimore's historic Montgomery Ward Catalog House and several adjacent warehouse buildings totaling more than 2.2 million square feet on 56 acres. The 1.3 million square foot, eight-story Catalog House stood vacant for 15 years before its redevelopment. It is now the centerpiece of Montgomery Park, a sustainable office building and grand prize winner of the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) 2003 Phoenix Award, the national top prize Brownfields Redevelopment Award recognizing projects that return environmentally compromised properties to productive use. Montgomery Park was chosen from 57 entries and 10 finalists.
