Humphrey Management Continues To Grow

Howard County Executive, Allan Kittleman, Maryland Speaker Mike Busch, and staff members tour the Burgess Mill Station community.

Out there on Old Columbia Road in Columbia, MD, is a property management company, HUMPHREY MANAGEMENT. Their task is to manage residential apartment communities spread throughout the DC-Baltimore area. They take their job seriously and are known for treating their employees well.

Just last month, Humphrey added three communities to its growing portfolio. These three communities are located in Montgomery County, north of DC. Forest Glen Apartments is situated within walking distance to the Forest Glen Metro station, off Georgia Avenue, in Silver Spring. Another acquisition, Hillbrooke Towers, also in Silver Spring, has a bus stop at the entrance. Hillwood Manor, on the other hand, is located in Tacoma Park. It is placed within a wooded section, off New Hampshire Avenue. All three communities have one- and two-bed rental apartments, with all utilities included in the rent.

According to Bethany Hooper, President of Humphrey Management, "This is an exciting opportunity to again partner with MHP [Montgomery Housing Partnership] as we continue our first project together, the new building for seniors in downtown Silver Spring, The Bonifant. We look forward to working with MHP on these new communities as we bring them into the Humphrey fold."

June wasn't the only busy month. As I previously noted, Humphrey Management is growing, and that's what they did in April, too. They added the Arnold Gardens community in Suitland to their portfolio, becoming the eleventh apartment community in PG County managed by them. This community offers 68 one-, two-, and three-bedroom rental apartments, with easy access to Suitland Road and I-95.

April 6 saw the groundbreaking ceremony for Rainier Manor II, an extension of the existing Rainier Manor community in Mt. Rainier. There are 57 senior apartments planned. The apartments, plus community room, greenhouse, library, fitness center, and cyber cafe, will all be housed in an Energy Star-certified building.

Construction of the Bonifant in Silver Spring was being completed in April. There are 149 apartments for seniors in this 11-story building, located next to the new Silver Spring library. First move-ins occurred in May.

The other construction was on the Berger Square community in Odenton, which was projected, and on schedule, to be completed in June. More than 40 potential residents had already applied to move in. This LEED-certified building also includes a community room, fitness center, playground, and bike storage.

That's just a sample of the projects and portfolio additions to Humphrey Management. It was, indeed, a busy spring.
