Kennedy Krieger Institute, a nonprofit organization providing a wide range of services for children, adolescents and adults with diseases, disorders or injuries that impact the nervous system, is expanding its International Center for Spinal Cord Injury in Baltimore.
The company signed a 13,365-square-foot lease at 425 Williams Court in Greenleigh, a 1,000-acre mixed-use business community located in the White Marsh section of Baltimore County.
St. John Properties and Somerset Construction Company are developing the business community, which will include multifamily, office, retail and hospitality offerings.
When completed, Greenleigh will offer more than 2,200 residential units and nearly 2 million square feet of commercial space.
“Kennedy Krieger’s presence within Greenleigh is a testament to the valued relationships we build with our tenants, and how our speculative building philosophy facilitates expansion opportunities within our portfolio,” Matt Lenihan, senior vice president of leasing for St. John Properties, told Commercial Observer. “Kennedy Krieger is among the most respected and visible institutions in the medical community and their decision to expand a major facility to Greenleigh exemplifies the vibrant mixed-use community that we’ve worked hard to cultivate.”
Kennedy Krieger has 23 locations throughout the state of Maryland. The new institute will employ approximately 30 doctors, healthcare practitioners and occupational therapists, supported by robotic technology.
“[The facility] will incorporate state-of-the-art technology and equipment designed to achieve the most favorable patient outcomes possible,” Tom Novotny, director of operations and business development for the center, said in a prepared statement. “The Maple Lawn location was sorely needed to reduce commuting times for patients and their families traveling to Baltimore City, which is vital when transporting someone with spinal cord issues.”
The single-story building will also simplify access, incorporating dual entry points in the front and rear to separate wellness, rehabilitation and outpatient care visits for adults and children.
Bill Jautze of St. John Properties represented the landlord in the lease, while the tenant represented itself in the deal.
