Lawrence F. Maykrantz, President and Chief Executive Officer of St. John Properties, Inc. was named winner of the NAIOP-MD Lifetime Achievement Award, based on his accomplishments in acquisition and disposition, development, and investments for more than 44 years, as well as his continued support of NAIOP Maryland and the CRE community.
When asked to list his greatest career accomplishments, Maykrantz responded “successfully navigating the company through several commercial real estate downturns and economic recessions, with the 1991 banking crisis being the most tenuous period.”
“Real estate is unique because it impacts nearly every business and individual daily and is one of the few assets that appreciates over time. Like any industries, it has ups and downs, but CRE offers tremendous long-term opportunities,” he said. “I highly recommend it for those looking to build an exciting and fulfilling career.”
