Gina Baker Chambers, president of MCB Real Estate, joins us for this episode, discussing her transition from institutional investor to operator and MCB’s rapid growth to over $3 billion in assets and nearly 15 million square feet across sectors. The firm has been in the headlines recently for its role in Baltimore’s resurgence, advancing major projects including the $1 billion redevelopment of Harborplace on the city’s Inner Harbor waterfront. Chambers emphasizes how trust, transparency and creative capital structuring are key to delivering complex projects like Harborplace, and shares MCB’s strategy of aligning investor returns with long-term community impact.
