Investment Matters: Forging Development Success

When you’re developing a high-profile, high-stakes project, how do you balance all the complex priorities? That’s the challenge that MCB Real Estate is taking on with Baltimore’s Harborplace, one of the nation’s most prominent current redevelopments of an urban waterfront. In this episode of "Investment Matters," you’ll meet MCB’s president, Gina Baker Chambers. She takes us inside the company’s mission to create projects that are economically sound, environmentally sustainable and serve the community's needs.   Yet fulfilling this mission calls for a special level of commitment. As Baker Chambers puts it, “You have to have faith, you have to be creative, you have to have a certain amount of tolerance for pain, and really good lawyers.” Baker Chambers is no stranger to major challenges. Fifteen years ago, she was one of the original team members at Artemis Real Estate Partners, where she played a key role in raising the firm’s first fund during the aftermath of the Great Financial Crisis. The insights she gained still resonate in today’s climate. Take a listen.
