Kenwood Management Company is excited to announce the acquisition of 9011 Chevrolet Drive. This property is a single-story, 19,259-square-foot commercial office building in the Ellicott City section of Howard County, Maryland. 

The purchase price for the property was $3.25 million. Owen Rouse, Senior Vice President, Investment Sales, and David McClatchy, Senior Vice President and Principal of MacKenzie Commercial Real Estate Services, LLC, represented the seller, KMS Associates, of this fully-leased and occupied asset.

Kenwood Management was self-represented in the transaction. Laura Murrer, Senior Asset Manager, led the Kenwood acquisition team. Laura commented, "Chevrolet Drive is a terrific property with lots of small tenants that cater to the local Ellicott City market. It has a long-term history of high occupancy and perfectly fits into Kenwood’s small tenant model, which provides long-term steady cash flow."

Bill Singer, Principal of Kenwood Management, added, "Ellicott City’s vacancy rate is less than 5%, and there is still a strong desire by smaller tenants who need to occupy medical and quasi-retail spaces. This acquisition produces immediate cash flow for our investors and an opportunity to enhance it in the long term."

The two-story building was constructed in 2000 and sits on an approximately 2.5-acre site near Baltimore National Pike (US Route 40) and MD Route 29. The location is also about three miles from Columbia Town Center. The building fronts Chevrolet Drive and offers free surface parking for tenants. The tenants in the multi-tenant building are an equal mix of traditional and medical office space users.
