Baltimore, MD (November 3, 2006) – KLNB, LLC, a full-service commercial real estate services company with four offices in the Baltimore-Washington, D.C.-Northern Virginia marketplace, has announced that ten real estate professionals have joined the company from Madison Retail Group. All of the new employees, whose company was affiliated with Madison Marquette, will work within the company’s KLNB Retail division, and four will immediately become principals of the firm.

The new principals are Cary Judd, Dallon Cheney, Matt Locraft and Melissa Welch, and the group also includes real estate brokers Craig Cheney, Ben Becker, Darcy Niles and Julie Cyphers. The remaining individuals are support staff and administrative personnel.

These principals head a team of professionals that represent retailers including Harris Teeter, Home Depot, McDonald’s, Havertys Furniture, California Tortilla, Thomasville Home Furnishings, The UPS Store, Domino’s Pizza, The Little Gym, Dunkin Donuts and Cingular. As development and leasing consultants, they represent more than five million square feet of retail space and clients include Atlantic Realty Company, Buchanan Partners, Edens & Advant, The Brambleton Group, Comstock Retail Partners, Camden, DSF Advisors and Greenbaum and Rose Associates among others.

“As a result of changing business models within our former organization, the Northern Virginia team’s move to KLNB represents our best opportunity to pursue the type of retail transactions that play to our strengths,” stated Dallon Cheney. “This parting was on extremely amicable terms and we plan on maintaining a strong business relationship with the executives of Madison Marquette in the future,” he added.

By mid-year 2007, KLNB anticipates opening a new regional office in Loudoun County, VA that will house this new group, as well as other marketing and support staff. KLNB presently operates full-service Maryland locations in Towson, Baltimore City, Columbia, as well as Vienna, Virginia. Founded in 1969, KLNB features more than 50 full-time real estate brokerage professionals and provides a full range of brokerage, financial and investment services, property/facilities management and strategic advisory services to the commercial office, industrial and retail sectors. The company achieved more than $1 billion in sales and leasing volume in 2005. 

“Attracting this high level of talent and experience to KLNB is a significant event for the company, and will enable our team to provide real estate services over an expanded reach and at a greater volume,” stated Andy Georgelakos, a principal with KLNB, LLC. “The two companies have similar styles in terms of day-to-day business practices and the personalities of its top executives, and will complement each other based on the merging of business relationships and areas of expertise,” he added.

“We have attracted an intact team of professionals that will propel KLNB Retail to an even higher stage,” said Sam Hodges, a principal with KLNB who oversees the retail division in the Northern Virginia and Washington, D.C. region. 

Cary Judd, who exclusively represents Harris Teeter grocery stores in the Washington/Baltimore metro area said, “The integrated resources of our two partnerships combined, will significantly enhance our clients’ abilities to make fast, strategic real estate decisions.”

KLNB, LLC is the holding company that includes NAI KLNB, a division that focuses on the sale and leasing of commercial office, industrial and warehouse properties, as well as KLNB Retail, which specializes in the sale and leasing of retail projects as well as tenant representation. Also included in the group is NAI KLNB Property Management, which offers comprehensive asset management services for commercial office, industrial, retail and corporate facilities throughout the mid-Atlantic region.
