Commercial Properties
The demand for high quality office and flex/warehouse space in Frederick County has increased
significantly over the past couple of years. Developers in the region have been constructing new
buildings and renovating existing buildings to meet the demands of emerging companies looking to
locate to and expand in Frederick County. The demand is forecasted to continue because of
Frederick County's business friendly climate, proximity to major markets, services available to
companies, well-educated and skilled labor force and Frederick County's competitive cost advantages.
A PowerPoint presentation was made on 1/9/08 to CREW Suburban Maryland with a focus on the
commercial real estate industry and recent commercial development. A copy of this PowerPoint can
be accessed here.
