OptiVia Solutions, LLC, a company engaged in the design, permitting, construction, and installation of automated teller machines (ATM) on a national scale, has chosen Cromwell Business Park in Anne Arundel County, Maryland as the site for its fourth regional office in the country. The Ohio-based company signed a lease with St. John Properties, Inc. for 12,315 square feet of space at 795 Cromwell Park Drive and intends to hire up to 20 employees. The office recently opened with approximately 10 people. Kate Jordan, SIOR, Principal, Marley Welsh, SIOR, Vice President and Samantha Eckels, Associate for Lee & Associates | Maryland brokered the lease on behalf of the tenant and Jonas Asner, Partner in Training with St. John Properties represented the landlord.

OptiVia Solutions works with financial institutions, banks, credit unions, retail establishments and businesses to provide secure and reliable ATMs. The company, which operates regional offices in Cincinnati, Columbus, and Chicago, selected this location “to meet the increasing demand for ATM and bank equipment services in the greater Baltimore metropolitan area,” according to Lisa Smith, Market Leader, OptiVia, LLC, who has been chosen to oversee the new operation. “The new office strengthens the company’s footprint along the East Coast market where we continue to respond to new opportunities,” she said.

“The strategic location of Cromwell Business Park in the Baltimore-Washington, D.C. corridor positions OptiVia to effectively meet the rising demand for ATM installations and services throughout Baltimore and the surrounding region,” Smith added. “What distinguishes this expansion is the establishment of a dedicated local team with the ability to independently complete ATM installations and services on a timely basis.

“This location is the home base for our operation which extends into New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia and the District of Columbia,” Smith added. “The nearby airport and road network provide easy access for the delivery of materials and equipment. The park is extremely well-lit and feels secure which is tremendously comforting.”

Cromwell Business Park is a 165-acre business community comprising 920,000 square feet of flex/R&D, office, and retail space. It is adjacent to BWI Airport and located directly off Interstates 95 and 97, as well as Maryland Routes 100, 176, 295 and 648.

795 Cromwell Park Drive is a single-story building comprising 48,120 square feet of flex/R&D space. It is equipped with 16-foot ceiling heights, dock and drive-in loading capabilities, and wide truck courts at the rear of the building.

“It was important to find a building in the Baltimore-Washington common market that could support both office and warehouse/logistics space, and 795 Cromwell Park Drive satisfied every real estate requirement and also offered immediate availability,” stated Marley Welsh of Lee & Associates. “The nearby amenities, including full-service hotels and both sit-down and fast-casual amenities were additional draws which separated the building from the competition.”

“Cromwell Business Park continues to be a premier location among companies seeking convenient access to Baltimore, Washington, Annapolis and BWI Airport,” stated Matt Lenihan, Senior Vice President, Leasing for St. John Properties. “The business community is home to more than three quarters of a million square feet of our signature flex/R&D product, which was the ideal product to accommodate OptiVia Solutions’ front and back of house operations.”
