Whiskey Bottom Trade Center Signs 40,000 SF in New Leases

LAUREL, MD-Howard County’s Whiskey Bottom Trade Center–a three-building, 180,000-sf complex of flex, warehouse and office space designed in a “California loft” look–is 90% occupied with four recent lease contracts accounting for a total of 40,000-sf of space. Howard County officials see the activity as indication of a revival of the Route 1 area.

Rockville, MD-based developer Gingery Development Group began the Whiskey Bottom project in 1988 by constructing the 63,000-sf Building A. Building B, which is 63,000 sf in size, came along in 1999 and the final structure was completed less than a year ago. The latest tenants to take on space include Business Flooring, Inc. and Ritz Camera, which have leased 11,600 sf and 5,360 sf respectively in the newest building.
