If there are problems with the investment, we have partners- which is very important, that can step up to the plate and put money into the transaction. So we have never had capital calls to any of our investors. - Mark Goldstein, Paley Rothman Attorneys At Law Having worked with Kenwood Management Company for years and having been involved in many successful transactions, it is clear they have a thorough understanding of the process. They are very responsive, open-minded, evenhanded, and true to their word! - Ken Fellows, Edge Commercial Real Estate We are most excited to have recently relocated our headquarters to Kenwood. Our staff has eagerly settled into the spacious and elegant seventh floor and has made it home. Our volunteers, including our Board of Directors, simply love visiting the new office and keep complimenting us on the beautiful workspace where they can continue to make wishes come true! - Catherine C. Martens, Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic As an Investment Sales professional, it is critical that a Purchaser be responsive to my offerings as well as live up to their commitment relative to terms of a transaction. Kenwood Management does both. Transwestern has closed several significant transactions with Kenwood Management over the past 15 years and looks forward to working with them in the future. - Jim Darby, Transwestern Commercial Interior Construction, Inc., has been servicing Kenwood Management, Inc., for the past 16 years for all their building’s interior renovations. Kenwood has handled all of our business contracts and relationships with respect and professionalism throughout the duration of each individual project. We appreciate the business Kenwood Management has given our company and hope they will continue to afford us the opportunity to service all their construction needs in the future. - Kurt Heydt, Commercial Interior Construction, Inc. Kenwood staff arranged for our trash removal cost to be lowered significantly and for a new larger sign at the entrance to the [business] park. We recently renewed our three-year lease and Phil’s help was invaluable. The partnership and generosity are greatly appreciated, especially during these trying times. We look forward to continuing the long relationship that has developed at the property. - Robert R. Reed, Herndon-Reston FISH, Inc. (Operating The Bargain Loft thrift shop) I am very pleased being an investor in several of your properties. They are well managed and your relationship with your investors (me) has been excellent. I look forward to participating in future properties as you make them available.. - Bob Shapiro, Investor ### We Want to Hear From You [![Logo (4)](https://www.kenwoodmgt.com/hubfs/Logo%20(4).svg "Logo (4)")](https://www.kenwoodmgt.com/) Kenwood is a property investment and management firm based out of the Washington, D.C., and Baltimore metropolitan submarkets with a unique approach to how we create value for our tenants and investors. - [![ic_baseline-facebook](https://www.kenwoodmgt.com/hubfs/ic_baseline-facebook.svg) ](https://www.facebook.com/Kenwood-Management-Company-2052582351470670/) - [![ph_instagram-logo-fill](https://www.kenwoodmgt.com/hubfs/ph_instagram-logo-fill.svg) ](https://www.instagram.com/kenwoodmanagementcompany/) - [![entypo-social_linkedin-with-circle](https://www.kenwoodmgt.com/hubfs/entypo-social_linkedin-with-circle.svg) ](https://www.linkedin.com/company/kenwood-management-company-llc/about/) 5272 River Road, Suite 725,Bethesda, MD 20816 [ 301.656.7790 ](tel:+13016567790) [info@kenwoodmgt.com ](mailto:info@kenwoodmgt.com) Copyright 2025 Kenwood Management Company, LLC
