The Community Architects: Chasen Companies’ Vision for Urban Living

In the heart of Baltimore, a profound transformation is underway, spearheaded by Chasen Companies. This burgeoning enterprise is redefining urban development by creating more than just buildings — they’re fostering vibrant, interconnected communities. 

With a rapidly expanding portfolio that spans Greater Baltimore and extends across the U.S., Chasen Companies is emerging as a pivotal force in urban renewal, committed to enriching lives and revitalizing neighborhoods.

Rising to Meet Urban Challenges 

Baltimore’s history of economic challenges and high crime rates has long called for a transformative touch. Since 2017, these issues have begun to see a promising decline, thanks to concerted efforts in community-focused urban development. 

By 2023, the city recorded its lowest homicide rate in eight years, a testament to the positive impact of development on community safety and stability. 

Through thoughtful development Chasen Companies has been at the forefront of this urban transformation, reducing crime and fostering a safer, more engaged community.

A Harmonious Blend of Old and New 

Chasen Companies excels in preserving Baltimore’s historical essence while infusing modern functionality into its developments. Projects like the transformation of One Calvert Plaza from Baltimore’s first skyscraper into a luxury apartment complex illustrate Chasen’s commitment to maintaining architectural integrity while meeting contemporary needs. 

Each property is meticulously crafted to honor its historical significance while providing modern luxuries and amenities that attract modern urbanites.

Cultivating Spaces for Living and Growth 

Beyond physical structures, Chasen Companies is dedicated to building spaces that enhance community interaction and personal growth. 

The introduction of amenities such as Vision — a state-of-the-art coworking space — and The Hideaway, a versatile event venue, exemplifies how Chasen’s developments are designed to be more than homes; they are hubs of activity and interaction that enrich the community’s social fabric.

A Commitment to Community-Centric Development 

At the core of every Chasen project is a deep-seated belief in the power of real estate to improve lives. 

This ethos is reflected in Brandon Chasen’s philosophy: “Real estate isn’t just about buildings, it’s about creating spaces that empower communities and inspire growth.” 

This principle drives Chasen Companies to not only develop properties but also to invest in community development initiatives that offer affordable housing, create jobs, and stimulate local economies.

While Chasen Companies continues to deepen its roots in Baltimore, its successful model of community-centered urban development is setting stages for expansion into new markets. Each new project brings a promise of revitalization, aiming to replicate the success seen in Baltimore by fostering communities that are safe, vibrant, and thriving.

A Vision for Tomorrow 

With every building erected and every neighborhood revitalized, Chasen Companies reaffirms its commitment to being more than just a builder of buildings — they are creators of communities, they’re the Community Architects. The future holds a sustained focus on transforming urban landscapes into places where people can connect, live, and thrive together.
