Mitchell’s Chance – an Alternative to Annapolis

BALTIMORE – MacKenzie Commercial Real Estate Services, LLC, an independently owned and operated member of the Cushman & Wakefield Alliance (MacKenzie), a full service commercial real estate company in Maryland, will be responsible for the marketing and leasing of the new 46,311 square foot class A office building located at 137 Mitchell’s Chance Road in Edgewater, Maryland. 

As the Edgewater/South River area grows into a bustling suburbia, the location of Mitchell’s Chance has become an attractive submarket to Annapolis.  Mitchell’s Chance is not only conveniently located near Routes 214 and 50, but it is also near the newly planned community, South River Colony.  This community of nearly 900 residences is comprised of single-family homes, townhouses, condominiums and senior living facilities. The neighborhood features the top-rated South River Golf Links, resident-only pools, tennis courts and playgrounds with many retail amenities nearby. 

ARINC, based in Annapolis, a provider of services including air/ground communications, airport systems and information systems, will be occupying approximately 12,000 square feet at Mitchell’s Chance starting this May; with no room for growth at their Annapolis campus, they have expanded to this location.

The leasing agents for Mitchell’s Chance are J. Scott Wimbrow, SIOR, Senior Vice President and Principal, Christopher C. Bennett, Vice President and Patricia B. Farrell, Sales and Leasing Agent.
