Mark Sapperstein
Real estate professional Mark Sapperstein possesses experience developing both commercial and residential projects, including shopping centers, condominiums, office buildings, and mixed-use properties. Mark Sapperstein has lived in Baltimore his entire life and has spent the last three decades concentrating his work in Maryland. In March 2011, the Baltimore Business Journal featured Mark Sapperstein in an article that appeared in its Heavy Hitters in Real Estate section. The article chronicled his development of the McHenry Row project, a mixed-use property for which he received $42 million from M&T; Bank. Located in Locust Point, Mark Sapperstein’s McHenry Row project plan includes 70,000 square feet of office space; a 60,000-square-foot North Carolina-based grocery called Harris Teeter (scheduled to open in December 2011); more than 900 parking spaces in 2 enclosed structures; and 250 residential rental units. Mark Sapperstein considers it a major coup that well-known tenants have moved in, businesses including PNC, M&T; Bank, The Greene Turtle Sports Bar & Grille, Red Parrot Asian Bistro, and Dunkin’ Donuts. Other tenants include GKV, the Baltimore Metropolitan Council (BMC), and TidalTV, Inc. Mark Sapperstein proudly notes that his development’s proximity to Interstate 95 can draw those in who work nearby at places such as Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport and Fort George G. Meade. Mark Sapperstein is also developing another mixed-use property in Baltimore City’s chic Inner Harbor area called City Center. His plan creates 20,000 square feet of retail space, a 125-key suites hotel and 175-key hotel, and more than 300 parking spaces. At Silo Point, Mark Sapperstein transformed a former grain factory into one of Locust Point’s premier developments, featuring 150,000 square feet of office space; 50,000 square feet of retail space; and 500 residential units for sale. While he leads a busy professional life, Mark Sapperstein also makes time to contribute his gifts for social good. To that end, he acts as a Director of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and he contributes locally to Pikesville Chamber of Commerce, where he chairs the organization’s annual 5K run to benefit the University of Maryland Greenebaum Cancer Center.
