New Townhouses in Sparks Possible

There is a potential for new townhomes in Sparks, as plans were presented to the Sparks-Glencoe Community Planning Council Meeting in September.

The proposed development would be for 80 townhouses at York Road and Fila Way just north of Hunt Valley and Shawan Road.

Fila used to have a large plant behind this area, and had been zoned for more development. Obrecht, the developers, felt residential improvements would be better for the surrounding Sparks community.

The townhouses in Sparks-Glencoe would start at $400,000 each, and would have two or three bedrooms, according to an article in the Cockeysville Patch.

Ryland Homes Names New Chairman and New Homes To Be Built in Baltimore County

Ryland Homes Inc., a builder who has been behind many popular communities in the Baltimore area, has named Bill Jews as its new Chairman, reports the Baltimore Business Journal.

Mr. Jews was the CEO of Maryland’s own Carefirst BlueCross BlueShield and brought it back from the point of it almost shutting its doors in 1993 to a successful company by the time he stepped down in 2006.  Jews is on a number of boards in the Maryland area, including Fortress International in Columbia, Maryland, and Camden Learning Group in Baltimore.

Though Ryland Homes is based in California, they are a pillar in the Baltimore real estate community. Their developments have won awards and have shown to be well planned.
