BALTIMORE, MD (January 29^th, 2025) – St. John Properties, Inc., a Baltimore-based full-service commercial real estate development and management company that has developed over 24 million square feet across 12 states, has promoted Sean Doordan to Senior Executive Vice President, Acquisitions & Growth.

In his expanded role, Doordan will implement strategies to further enhance the company’s regional operations and growth.

The program, which prepares the participants to open new regional offices in key U.S. markets, provides education and experience in six commercial real estate disciplines: acquisitions, development, construction, leasing, tenant improvements and property management.

Over the last two years, St. John Properties opened new regional offices in Austin (TX), Dallas (TX), Charlotte (NC), Raleigh (NC), and Tampa (FL). Further expansions are expected in the coming years. 

Doordan will also maintain his existing responsibility of evaluating acquisition opportunities in the Greater Maryland region. In addition, the company’s contracts, leasing, marketing, and interior design departments will continue to be channeled under his supervision.

“Sean’s expertise in leading teams and scaling operations has been essential to our company’s sustained success,” stated Larry Maykrantz, President and CEO of St. John Properties. “His in-depth understanding of all aspects of commercial real estate will help drive the company’s growth, aligning with our vision of building best-in-class business communities across all our markets. Sean’s dedication to strengthening foundations and expanding relationships will ensure we continue to meet and exceed our goals in every region we serve.”

He is active with a number of business and civic organizations including serving on the Real Estate and Infrastructure Advisory Board for the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School and the Board of Directors for Special Olympics Maryland.
