Welcome to CREW Conversations, the podcast presented by CREW Baltimore, where we delve into the dynamic world of commercial real estate. Join us as we engage in candid conversations with professionals shaping the industry landscape, discussing the latest trends, challenges, and innovations.
But that's not all – we shine a spotlight on the invaluable contributions of women in commercial real estate, exploring their experiences, insights, and the unique perspectives they bring to the table.
And of course, we can't forget our beloved city of Baltimore – from its rich history to its vibrant present and promising future, we explore how the local real estate scene reflects and shapes the city's identity.
Tune in to CREW Conversations for an insider's look at the intersection of real estate, gender diversity, and the spirit of Baltimore.
In this episode of CREW Conversations, we go behind the scenes of one of Ellicott City’s most exciting historic redevelopment projects: Ellicott Mill.
Christina Tufaro, Development Manager with Terra Nova Ventures, and Brad Zacchero, Senior Project Manager with Southway Builders, join us to discuss what it takes to transform a century-old structure for a new generation.
Christina and Brad share the vision behind the redevelopment, the unique challenges that come with construction in a historic building, and how the project team is balancing preservation with the demands of a modern mixed-use development. When complete, Ellicott Mill will feature 190 apartments, a destination restaurant, curated retail spaces, and a historic display celebrating the property’s legacy.
We also preview CREWBaltimore’s upcoming Anatomy of the Deal: Ellicott Mill event, where attendees will have the opportunity to experience the project firsthand with an exclusive hard hat tour and panel discussion, followed by happy hour and networking at The Trolley Stop.
