About MDC

Maisel Development Company was incorporated in 2004 in Maryland with offices in Silver Spring. Maisel Development invests in three key components that help our properties stand out: reconstruction, synergy and marketing. Reconstruction and rehabilitation of a landmark property is an investment in the local community, which has proven time and again to have a significant return on investment both in customer loyalty and with local leaders. We believe strongly in the importance of having the right mix of tenants to ensure synergy that helps the center succeed as a whole. Lastly, Maisel Development has a staff member dedicated to promoting properties as needed through marketing, community outreach, or assisting tenants individually.
​
Maisel Development Company is fully independent of Maisel-Hollins Development Company, Inc. with which Harvey B. Maisel is also associated. In January of 2005, Joan Weber joined Maisel Development Company as a partner. Jon Weiss joined MDC in 2021 specializing in asset management and leasing. See full bios below.
