MacKenzie Adds a New Associate to Assist with Growing BW Corridor Market

BALTIMORE – MacKenzie Commercial Real Estate Services, LLC, (MacKenzie) an independently owned and operated member of the Cushman & Wakefield Alliance, has added a new associate to its Columbia, Maryland office.  Bryan Casey has officially joined MacKenzie’s brokerage team and will specialize in the sales and leasing efforts in the office market in Howard and Anne Arundel Counties.  In joining the Columbia team, Bryan will assist in servicing the leasing of buildings in this market as well as support the tenant representation group as they service the government contractors that will relocate to this market to BRAC.

Casey started with MacKenzie Management Corporation in 2004 as a Property Manager where he managed buildings located in Towson such as 600 Washington Avenue, 40 W. Chesapeake Avenue, 29 W. Susquehanna Avenue, as well as 23 and 25 Crossroads Drive in Owings Mills.

“Casey is joining the Columbia office at an ideal time as the Baltimore-Washington Corridor is really just starting to boom”, stated J. Scott Wimbrow, SIOR, Managing Partner of the Columbia office.  “The Columbia market has become more appealing to many firms looking for space near Fort Meade as it offers not only the product they need, but also immediate access to I-95 and amenities not readily available to the Fort Meade military base.  As the Columbia and Fort Meade submarkets grow and competition for space increases, some developers are looking towards Annapolis as an attractive alternative to Howard County”. 

Casey currently resides in Rogers Forge with his wife.
