Laytonsville, MD – Bill Meissner, Vice President of Ruppert Properties, announces brisk leasing activity at several of the company’s Frederick, Md. properties. “Following an extensive upgrade of 200 Monroe Avenue, including landscaping, facade improvements and interior updates, we’ve leased 53,000 of the 192,000 square feet to GEICO for document storage and have several other leases pending.” 200 Monroe Avenue, formerly the Van Hoffman Printing Co., was purchased by Ruppert Properties in January of this year.

They have renewed the 55,000 square feet used by the brewery located at 4607 Wedgewood Boulevard with a 10-year lease. We’re thrilled that this space will continue its current use and bring further recognition to this unique business venture of the Frederick community.”
