Fraser Forbes 30 for 30 – Episode 2 - Hyde Field What if a shuttered general aviation airfield, locked in bankruptcy, could take off again as a 1,500-home, mixed-use community? That’s the arc of Hyde Field in Clinton, MD. • 423 acres once reserved for small planes, stalled by litigation and liens. • A court-ordered auction where our team helped steer a $7.5 million, all-cash acquisition, clearing creditors and giving the site a second life. • A new master plan calling for 1,500 residential units + 150,000 SF of retail in a walkable lifestyle center. • A decade of perseverance: We formed a joint venture between the landowner and seller, brought together focused builder groups, and navigated over dozens of stakeholder meetings to keep the vision alive. • Legal challenges: Over 10 years, the team endured multiple lawsuits and guided the property through bankruptcy. • Grit to the finish line: With unwavering commitment, the Fraser Forbes team selected NVR as the builder for Hyde Field. Hyde will serve as one of the largest development projects in South County history unlocking much needed critical road improvements easing gridlock in Clinton. • Lasting impact: This project proves Fraser Forbes doesn’t back down from a challenge. Who else in the land game spends a decade fighting litigation, bankruptcy, and logistical hurdles, and still lands the plane? It took runway-length patience, title clean-ups, environmental reviews, and dozens of community outreach sessions, but Hyde Field is taxiing toward ground-breaking. The deal captures everything we love (and sometimes curse) about land brokerage: complexity, creativity, and the moment a dormant property becomes a future neighborhood. As we mark 30 years in business, Hyde Field is the next story with Michael Parsels and Rich Samit in our #FraserForbes30for30 series, proof that even the toughest sites can soar with the right flight plan.

30 years. 30 stories. 1 relentless mission—turning raw land into lasting value and dirt into opportunity. To celebrate our three decades in the Mid-Atlantic market, we’re rolling out #FraserForbes30for30 a countdown of the land deals that defined us, tested us, and ultimately proved that persistence (and a great team) can overcome anything the market throws our way. 🎬 Fraser Forbes “30 for 30” – Episode 1 - East Marlton What if a land deal could fund the next generation of leaders and protect nearly a square mile of Maryland forest forever? 🌳🏕️ That’s exactly what happened when Girl Scouts Nation's Capital tapped our team to re-imagine their long tabled East Marlton property in Prince George’s County. A site once marketed for 1,238 homes now remains 537 acres of protected woodland, thanks to a $12.6 million acquisition by the Maryland-National Capital Park & Planning Commission brokered by our very own Rich Samit and Barry Clifford. The proceeds seed the council’s new Outdoor Legacy Fund, ensuring camp programs across 1,500 acres in MD, VA, and WV will thrive for decades. 🌳🏕️ The Washington Business Journal called it a stand-out, naming the transaction its 2023 People’s Choice “Best Real Estate Deal,” and "Community Impact award." Our Impact at a glance: - 537 acres conserved (one of the largest single park acquisitions in county history) - $12.6 million redirected to outdoor leadership programs - A win-win for nature, the community, and future generations of Girl Scouts About the Outdoor Legacy fund, "The Fund is made possible by the generous donation of the land to Girl Scouts Nation’s Capital in late 2018 by an affiliate of Pleasants Construction Enterprises, Inc. The Council recognizes the full and partial pro bono contributions by its law firm, Goulston & Storrs (Wendelin White, Derick Wallace), its real estate broker, Fraser Forbes Real Estate Services, and its business advisors Mandi Wedin (Feroce Real Estate Advisors) and Laura Bassett, the Council’s former CFO." As we celebrate 30 years of brokerage, we’ll spotlight 30 deals that shaped the DMV. Some built skylines, others, like this one, kept the skyline green. Stay tuned for the full “30 for 30” series, dropping soon. #CRE #leadership #innovation #sustainability
