Southern Management Corporation is a privately owned[1] property management company in the Mid-Atlantic.[2][3]
The company owns more than 25,000 apartment units[4] across 76 properties, three hotels[5], and 1 million square feet in commercial space[6] in the Baltimore/DC area and a ski resort, hotel, and conference center, Bear Creek[7], in Macungie, Pennsylvania.[8]
History
The company (originally Central Management) was founded by David Hillman in 1965[9][10], when he purchased his first multifamily community, Lakeside North, in Prince George’s County, Maryland.[11] The corporate headquarters is located in Vienna, Virginia,[12] with a secondary corporate office located in College Park, Maryland.[2]
While the company is primarily known for acquiring and improving existing apartment communities, they have also been involved in development projects[13] such as The Hotel at the University of Maryland located in College Park, Maryland[14][15] and the Arundel,[16] an apartment community located in Hanover, Maryland, both of which opened in 2017. In 2018, they built and franchised[17] the Cambria Hotel in College park.[18] They have also completed several rehabs of historic buildings in downtown Baltimore such as the Standard Oil Building (The Standard at Preston Gardens), The Baltimore Gas and Electric Company Building (39 West Lexington), and The Atrium.
In 2016, Southern Management received recognition from the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award for Performance Excellence for their best practices in the workforce category.[19][20]
In December 2017, David Hillman nominated his wife, Suzanne Hillman, CEO of Southern Management.[9][10] Suzanne was hired in 1975 as an accountant for Southern Management and later took on additional roles. Prior to her change in title, she had been an officer and CFO of the company for over thirty years.[21]
