St. John Properties acquires five-story, 175,000 s/f office building AT 10150 York Rd. in Cockeysville
BALTIMORE, MD – St. John Properties, Inc. has acquired 10150 York Rd., a five-story, 175,000 s/f class A office building situated in Cockeysville. The purchase further expands the real estate development and investment company’s Baltimore County footprint to more than 5 million s/f of office, flex/R&D, and retail space. This follows the company’s 2025 acquisition of a 300,000 s/f office portfolio at North Park, located at the intersection of York and Shawan Rds., as well as its 2023 acquisition of a 17-acre site now being developed as Hunt Valley Exchange, a 113,000 s/f mixed-use project.
St. John Properties was self-represented by senior executive VP, Acquisitions and Growth Sean Doordan and assistant VP of Acquisitions Alex Lyons. Newmark’s Christopher Abramson, Nicholas Signor, and Ben McCarty marketed the property and handled negotiations on behalf of the selling entity.
St. John Properties plans to immediately invest over $3 million in interior and exterior improvements at 10150 York Road to elevate the asset and create a modern, inviting environment for tenants and visitors. Planned upgrades include modernization of the building façade and exterior signage, enhanced landscaping, a class A lobby renovation, and the construction of a new fitness center and executive suites. Together, these improvements are designed to enhance the overall tenant experience and strengthen the property’s position within the market.
“10150 York Road is a great addition to our portfolio along the York Road corridor,” said Doordan. “Our team has a proven track record of taking well-located properties like this and making the improvements needed to bring them up to St. John Properties’ standards. We see great potential in this property, and the upgrades we’re planning will create a high-quality environment that we believe will be very attractive to both existing and prospective tenants and position the property for strong leasing activity.”
10150 York Rd. is 61 percent leased to five tenants. The site, which fronts York Rd. (MD Rte. 45), includes an on-site 500-vehicle parking garage, plus a surface lot with an additional 225 parking spaces.
10150 York Rd. offers superior access to abundant consumer and business-focused retail and dining amenities, highlighted by Hunt Valley Towne Centre, a 925,000 s/f mixed-use project featuring Wegmans Food Markets and nearly 60 supporting tenants. The location is transit-connected via the MTA light rail and bus routes, and offers easy access to I-83 and I-695.
10150 York Rd. joins St. John Properties’ existing Northern Baltimore County projects along York Rd., including: Crestridge Center, Loveton Business Park, Yorkridge Center North, Yorkridge Center South, and Timonium Exchange. In addition, the vertically-integrated firm is speculatively developing Hunt Valley Exchange, a mixed-use community including flex/R&D and retail located less than a mile from the North Park campus on York Rd., and less than three miles from the company’s latest acquisition.
“Our leasing success continues to give us confidence in both our development and acquisition strategies,” Doordan added. “We’re continually pursuing value-add, portfolio, and land acquisition opportunities in Baltimore County and across Maryland, and we’re in a strong financial position to move quickly when the right opportunity comes along. We’re going to continue investing in properties where we believe our team can make an immediate impact and create long-term value.”
