Rebuilding Baltimore, One Block at a Time: How Local Investment is Supporting the Johns Hopkins Community

BALTIMORE, MD / ACCESS Newswire / May 20, 2025 / In East Baltimore, just a few blocks from the world-renowned Johns Hopkins Hospital, change is happening-quietly, but with purpose. Vacant homes are being restored. Streets once overlooked are becoming communities again. And behind much of this transformation is SURE Development Company, a local firm taking a fresh approach to real estate investment.

Rather than focusing solely on profits, SURE's mission is rooted in people: traveling nurses, medical students, and healthcare workers who come to Baltimore to serve but often struggle to find safe, affordable housing nearby.

"We kept hearing the same thing-residents and students at Johns Hopkins couldn't find quality places to live near work," said Mark Reed, President of SURE Development. "So we decided to do something about it. We're restoring full blocks, creating furnished homes, and giving essential professionals a place to call home."

SURE's Passive Portfolio brings in investors from across the country, but the returns are more than just financial. Each property developed supports the revitalization of historic neighborhoods while meeting the real needs of Baltimore's workforce. Investors receive steady monthly 12% cash-on-cash returns as well as capital appreciation of the homes they purchase-but many say the real value is knowing their capital is helping rebuild a city.

Local contractors are hired for renovations. Homes are thoughtfully furnished and managed. And every project is done with an eye toward long-term impact-not just for investors, but for the families and professionals who move in.

"The work they're doing around Johns Hopkins is incredible," said M. Smith, an early investor from Georgia. "These aren't quick flips. They're restoring the heart of the city-and offering a stable investment at the same time."

With a portfolio that spans blocks of East Baltimore and a model that scales community impact alongside financial return, SURE Development is proving that real estate can be both responsible and rewarding.
