Exeter Gardens Gets a Facelift

In June of 2013, WPM participated in the development of Exeter

Gardens, a community-led initiative to address the food desert
within the historic Jonestown neighborhood of Baltimore. WPM
staff helped transform an abandoned lot into a green oasis.
Earlier this year, 26 WPM associates braved some of this summers
hottest weather to spend the day giving Exeter Gardens a much-
needed refresh. Associates cleaned out the garden, installed estate
fencing around the park, gave the shed a fresh coat of paint, and
planted new herbs, vegetables and flowers. Thanks to all of those
who helped give new life to the garden!

Continuing Donations for Schools and Food

Once again team WPM demonstrates its generosity in helping
those in need. Earlier this summer, associates participated in our
annual School Supply Drive collecting over 1,000 items that were
distributed to Owings Mills Elementary, Patapsco High School, Green
Street Academy, Franklin Elementary School and Sarahs Hope. The
winner of the barrel decorating contest for the school supply drive
was Snowden Overlook Community Association.
Currently underway is WPMs Annual Food Drive to benefit St.
Vincent De Paul Beans and Bread as well as the Howard County
Food Bank. Donations are being accepted through November
20th. Residents and partners are welcome to stop by any one of our
communities or WPMs Headquarters to contribute!

At WPM Real Estate Management, we believe that our

Associates define who we are as an organization and
continue to be the driving force behind our success.
Each year, we create a campaign to celebrate our associates
and their contributions. This year, our Sherlocked campaign asked
associates to be Detectives and find examples or evidence of fellow
associates exhibiting our core values of Integrity, Strength, Excellence,
and Energy. In return for their sleuthing, associates received a
reward of their choosing. The reward options were WPM branded
items including a beach towel, insulated tumbler, or a popsocket.

The campaign was a huge success and the responses we

received were incredible! Just take a look at a few examples of
our Sherlocked reports...

500 Park
500 Park Avenue - open for business!
Were excited to announce that the first
residents of 500 Park Avenue in Mount
Vernon began moving in during the month of
June, as construction crews were busy putting
the final touches on the project. Officially
opening on June 21, 2017, this ultra-modern
development enjoyed a festive celebration
and ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by
local partners, tenant neighbors, Mayor
Catherine Pugh and other dignitaries.

Located in the thriving Mount Vernon neighborhood, 500 Park is the latest addition in the
ongoing redevelopment of this area that includes a healthy, diverse mix of various economic
strata, races, cultural attractions, and employers. This six-story, 153-unit apartment community
is a companion to our first project in this neighborhood (520 Park Avenue), the renovation
of the former Hoshchild Kohn warehouse that was converted into 171 apartments that rise
above the popular Mount Vernon Marketplace.

With over 70% of the units already leased, this new apartment complex is satisfying a
growing demand for urban living much of which stems from millennials desire for an urban
experience. Its young, its professional and it is a location that is attractive to people from
outside Maryland, said Dominic Wiker, Development Director at The Time Group and
developer of both the 500 and 520 projects.

The community includes a mix of studios, one-bedroom apartments and two-bedroom

apartments. It also features a fitness center, resident lounge, swimming pool, an area for
dogs, a parking garage and 3,500 square feet of first-floor retail space. With the increased
commitment to alternative forms of transportation the City Circulator, university shuttles,
Light Rail and the Baltimore Bikeway and bikeshare its a great place to be.

Come see all that 500 Park Avenue and this re-energized, vibrant, urban community has to
offer. To learn more about 500 Park, contact the leasing office at 443.569.4669 or visit the

quite the year. Construction turned over the first building on January 1, and the apartments
have literally flown off the shelf ever since. The first phase of the community reached 100%
occupancy in September. These results far exceeded budgeted expectations and are a
testament to the entire team. Property Manager Perry Mathias and his team, including leasing
specialists Stephanie Rhodes and Maria Patton, and Maintenance Supervisor Cameron
Johnson, under supervision of Regional Property Manager Karen Houston, have implemented
a strategic marketing, leasing and resident engagement plan. At the time of print, more than

Woods Condominium 5 Roof
Replacement Project
When Annen Woods Condo 5 realized its 20-year roof was
failing in 2016, the WPM team was there to help. WPM provided
temporary patching and repairs for over 15 leaks, while working
with the Board to create an RFP, secure funding, select the right
vendor and oversee the project. Timing meant coordinating
around rainy weather, religious holidays, crane availability and
parking closures, creating initial scheduling challenges. However,
the $800,000 project started October 1 and is currently
underway. It is expected to be completed by Thanksgiving just
in time for turkey!

A Taste of Senior Living

In the words of the Iron Chef Chairman, Allez cuisine! This year, chefs from
Lighthouse Ellicott City teamed up with the Maples of Towson to compete for the
Silver Spoon Award at the Taste of Senior Living Event held on October 5, 2017.

Sponsored by LifeSpan Network, the Mid-Atlantics largest senior living care

provider association representing more than 250 organizations, the event brought
together 30 entrants from Howard County and Baltimore County senior living
providers for an evening of great food and wine and over 250 attendees from the
community, including Secretary Rona Kramer from the Maryland Department of
Aging, Dylan Goldberg, representing Delegate Shane Pendergrass, and various
representatives from local Departments of Aging.

Dishes were judged by Michael Mannozzi, DHMH, Chief of Staff, Office of Health
Care Quality and Daniel Wecker, Owner and Executive Chef of the Elkridge
Furnace Inn.

While the teams inaugural entry didnt win, their dish, a 72-Hour Sous Vide Beef Short Ribs with Kohlrabi Pesto Salad, was clearly a
favorite among attendees! Kudos to Chefs Eric Welsh, Michael Hinkel and Frank Benedetto for their efforts. We hope this becomes
an annual event for our chefs and look forward to seeing what they create next year!

Hopkins Creek Celebrates Assisted Living Week

National Assisted Living Week (NALW), observed this year from

Our teams are committed to providing quality care that engages
residents and ensures their journey remains fun. Thank you to
all our Assisted Living staff for their contributions in creating the
best home for each resident, every day.
