Spanning over 3,500 square feet with an expansive 800-square-foot outdoor patio, ViVa offers a diverse menu featuring signature Italian cuisine alongside American staples like wings, burgers, and cheesesteaks.

The restaurant’s defining feature is its seamless integration of robotics. Upon arrival, guests are welcomed by a virtual hostess and seated via a streamlined self-service system. To provide a highefficiency, tip-free dining experience, guests order via QR codes, while a fleet of four OrionStar Robotics robots handles table delivery. For those who prefer a traditional touch, physical menus and “call buttons” for human assistance are readily available. “ViVa represents a bold step forward in the dining experience,” said Gina Palma. “By leveraging technology for service, we can focus on delivering high-quality food in a vibrant, modern atmosphere.”

This marks Palma’s fourth location in the Greater Baltimore area, following the success of Facci Ristorante in Laurel (2010), Turf Valley (2013), and the Inner Harbor (2024).
ViVa Italian Kitchen Pizza Bar is open seven days a week for lunch, dinner, and happy hour.

The CSX Select Site designation is awarded to development-ready properties along the CSX network where land-use considerations and comprehensive due diligence have been pre-addressed. This “shovel-ready” status significantly reduces construction timelines, allowing manufacturers to bring products to market faster.

“The Silver CSX Select Site designation for Enterprise Center at Va Port Logistics Park is an outstanding achievement”, said Suffolk Mayor Michael Duman. “We appreciate CSX for recognizing the tremendous potential of this site and we look forward to the designation as a tool to accelerate economic growth by attracting top-level manufacturing and industrial companies.”

To earn this designation, the Enterprise Center met a rigorous set of criteria, including:

· Infrastructure & Utilities: Confirmed availability and capacity.

· Environmental & Zoning: Completed reviews, air quality permitting, and proper entitlement.

· Logistics Connectivity: Proven rail serviceability and close proximity to major highways and interstates.

“We are incredibly proud of this recognition, which serves as a testament to the site’s exceptional infrastructure and strategic location,” said Russel Powell, President of Atapco Properties. “This designation by CSX validates this property’s status as a premier logistics hub capable of generating long-term job creation and economic prosperity for the entire region.”

“We are excited to see the Enterprise Center at Virginia Port Logistics Park earn this Select Site designation,” said Sarah McCoy, Interim CEO of the Virginia Port Authority. It reflects the hard work of our partners and the market confidence in the infrastructure, location, and future

capabilities of this growing global gateway. Additional visibility from CSX’s announcement only strengthens the momentum we’re building across the Commonwealth.”

CSX introduced the Select Site program in 2012 to streamline the site-selection process for customers. Working alongside Austin Consulting, a nationally recognized firm, CSX screens candidate sites to ensure they are prepared for immediate, large-scale industrial development.

The post ATAPCO PROPERTIES SELLS 251,000 SF GSA DISTRIBUTION CENTER IN PENNSYLVANIA appeared first on Atapco Properties.

Industrial property investor Terreno Realty Corp. has expanded its D.C.- area portfolio with the acquisition of a 180,000-square-foot shell warehouse in Hyattsville.

Bellevue, Washington-based Terreno (NYSE: TRNO) paid $50 million for the class A property at 2300 Craftsman Circle and intends to invest another $7.6 million to build out the interior, the company said Friday. It expects construction to be completed in early 2027.

The seller was Baltimore-based Atapco Properties, which acquired the property for $15 million in August 2020, according to Prince George’s County property records. The building was assessed at $26.1 million in July.

The rear-load industrial building sits on 14.1 acres near the intersection of the the Baltimore-Washington Parkway and Route 50, about a mile from the D.C. line. It contains 45 loading docks and has parking for 156 cars.

Terreno is a real estate investment trust that acquires and operates industrial properties in six major metropolitan markets: Los Angeles, Miami, New York, San Francisco, Seattle and D.C. As of Sept. 30, it owned more than 300 buildings totaling more than 20 million square feet.

Its acquisition of the Hyattsville property expands its D.C.-area portfolio to 28 buildings totaling just under 2.2 million square feet. In 2024, it acquired the four-building Fleet Industrial Park in Franconia for $83.7 million and in 2023 it bought a newly delivered 33,000-square-foot warehouse on V Street NE in D.C. for $13.4 million.

Its local properties are 96.4% occupied, according to Terreno’s website.

“This acquisition is exciting for Atapco Properties and represents a significant expansion of our commitment to the Charlotte area,” said Russel Powell, Chief Operating Officer of Atapco Properties. “We already own and operate University Executive Park and recognized the potential of expanding our portfolio with this unique lot development opportunity. We are investing in the future vitality of a dynamic community that values accessibility and connectivity.”

This premier location is situated at the intersection of Old Statesville Road and Ratcliff Lane, offering superior connectivity with a new dedicated sidewalk and biker-path providing direct access to the Irwin Creek Greenway.

The project includes the development of an upgraded CATS (Charlotte Area Transit System) bus waiting pad. The property is also strategically located within three-quarters of a mile of the proposed Lynx Red Line commuter rail Harris Station, ensuring long-term value and connectivity for residents.

Site work is scheduled to begin in 2025, with first lot deliveries projected for Spring 2026.

The post ATAPCO PROPERTIES ANNOUNCES ACQUISITION OF FIRST RESIDENTIAL LOT COMMUNITY IN DELAWARE appeared first on Atapco Properties.

“This is an investment that will change lives and help to change the footprint and legacy of this neighborhood,” said Mayor Brandon M. Scott. “We’re talking about a place once called ‘Murder Mall,’ that will soon be home to a state-of-the-art employment hub, where Baltimoreans can get connected to good jobs. My administration is committed, not only to making these resources available, but making them accessible, including by creating spaces like this one in neighborhoods where they can have the greatest impact.”

The City’s new state-of-the-art employment hub will encompass a four-story 63,000-square-foot facility. MOED’s strategic placement on the CityLink Gold route and proximity to Penn North Station ensures optimal accessibility for MOED’s clients who are connecting to employment opportunities. The facility will integrate a modern American Job Center, featuring advanced career skills-building classrooms, collaborative workspaces, and upgraded technology learning labs. This consolidated One-Stop Career Center will centralize various programs and services, making them more accessible and efficient, ultimately benefiting residents and the greater West Baltimore community and the City as a whole.

“The new MOED at Reservoir Square is much more than just a building, it represents a profound commitment to the very community it serves,” says MCB Real Estate Co-founder and Managing Partner P. David Bramble. “Much like the broader vision we have for Reservoir Square, this center is uniquely positioned to unlock immense potential right here in the neighborhood. As someone incredibly proud to call this area home, seeing this direct investment and the opportunities it creates for its residents is truly gratifying.”

In FY 2024 alone, MOED’s efforts translated into more than 3,000 city residents securing jobs through the office’s efforts. MOED also actively supported the business community, servicing more than 1,000 businesses with essential recruitment services, strategic advisement, and grants. Additionally, MOED’s 2024 YouthWorks initiative offered summer job opportunities to over 10,000 young individuals, collaborating with more than 750 employer partners across the city.

The creation of the new MOED facility is the result of a strategic partnership between the City and private sector partners like MCB. This collaborative model ensures the project proceeds without affecting other municipal capital initiatives, and for the first time in decades, Baltimore City will gain a new government office building, demonstrating an innovative method for delivering critical public services by harnessing private sector expertise.

“The groundbreaking of our new American Job Center marks a major milestone in our mission to connect Baltimoreans with opportunity,” said MacKenzie Garvin, Esq., Director of the Mayor’s Office of Employment Development. “This state-of-the-art, transit-accessible facility will serve as a centralized hub for workforce innovation, employer engagement, and community collaboration. By unifying our core programs in one modern space, we’re enhancing access, streamlining services, and equipping residents to build sustainable careers. This historic investment reflects the power of strategic partnership and underscores our long-term commitment to advancing economic justice across Baltimore.”

The Reservoir Square project is also a textbook example of a collaborative public-private partnership. The City of Baltimore collaborated with MCB Real Estate, Atapco Properties, and MLR Partners, along with the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD), the Maryland Economic Development Corporation (MEDCO), national non-profit P3 –Foundation Inc. (P3) and the Neighborhood Impact Investment Fund (NIIF). The sale-leaseback structure between the City and P3, with bonds issued by MEDCO, provides a path to ownership for the City, with a built-in reserve fund to ensure the long-term viability of the facility. The development is considered a model for equitable urban redevelopment, transforming a once-blighted mall and public housing site in West Baltimore into a vibrant, mixed-use community.

“Reservoir Square and the new MOED location are a powerful testament to what is possible when committed partners come together with a shared vision,” adds Bramble. “This project brings long-overdue investment to a truly deserving community. And though these deals are complex, when you have the right partners, determination, and vision, even the toughest projects can rise. It is our hope that this project inspires other organizations, public and private alike, to come together and make a difference.”
