JBL has purchased, renovated and built various types of Real Estate assets throughout the city of Baltimore, Maryland.  While our roots were originally in residential rehabs and adaptive reuse projects, we are now in the midst of tremendous growth with the purchase and development of multiple commercial real estate projects throughout the city’s commercial corridors.

URBAN COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT
JBL finds neighborhoods in the city where retail development has not followed the recent curve of residential development.  Our goal is to reinvigorate previously known commercial corridors or to follow the lead of vibrant neighborhoods creating new retail opportunities.   We build ground up, or adaptively reuse previously built buildings.  Most projects include elements of “green” building.

WORKFORCE HOUSING
True to their belief in homeownership, JBL is making a conscious decision to build workforce housing throughout Baltimore. The company’s priority to provide housing that is affordable to moderate-income households will have a positive impact in such Baltimore neighborhoods as Hampden, Station North, Greenmount West, Westport, Brooklyn, Morrell Park, and others.

UNLOVED PROPERTIES
The recent real estate market has brought attention to the abundance of sub-par properties throughout the City of Baltimore. JBL believes these unloved sites, when a strategic fit for the company, are opportunities to make a difference. JBL’s in-house management and construction divisions enable the economic transformation of such properties.
JBL’s response to Baltimore’s current housing needs and trends has put the company at the forefront of local developers whose projects are revitalizing the city. Having determined niches in workforce housing, mixed-use re-development, and the stabilization of unloved properties, JBL is quickly becoming an expert in recognizing urban growth opportunities that enrich neighborhoods by transforming under-utilized sites into thriving properties.
