In a statement, St. John Properties said the six leases relate to three locations: Annapolis Corporate Park, BWI Technology Park II and the Route 97 Business Park.

According to the firm, South Moon Under signed a lease for 20,500 square feet of space at the Annapolis Corporate Park.

The company, which originates from the Eastern Shore, announced earlier this year that it would move its corporate headquarters in Berlin, Maryland to Annapolis.

Private equity group JPB Capital bought a majority stake in the company in March and new CEO, Michael Smith, said in June that the move was a part of the company’s initiative to expand into a national brand.

Annapolis law firm Liff and Walsh also signed a lease for 6,700 square feet of space at Annapolis Corporate Park.

The High Road School, a Millersville private school which focuses on special needs students, also signed a lease with St. John Properties for an additional 2,700 square feet of space at their current location.

As for BWI Technology Park II, Respira Medical Inc., Motorola, and Vetro Building Envelope all signed leases for space at the Linthicum location, ranging from 6,000 to 15,000 square feet of space.
