Rand Griffin, the CEO of Columbia based Corporate Office Properties Trust has been named the 2009 Newsmaker of the Year by the Baltimore Business Journal.
"At a time when many in the commercial real estate industry are licking wounds inflicted by an unforgiving recession, Rand Griffin-led COPT is still raising, spending, and making money. That’s why the Baltimore Business Journal picked him as its 2009 Newsmaker of the Year."
Congratulations Rand!
I was with Rand in a 20,000 sq ft home at a fundraiser once. He told me that he couldn't understand owning a 20,000 sq ft building which wasn't earning income. Not an unsurprising, tongue in cheek remark from someone who knows the ins and outs of the real estate business.
