“To understand the innovation of Koren
Development, I invite anyone to spend an hour at Piney Orchard.
Koren Development is led by a visionary, Steve Koren. Three
county executives ago, when the development began, Piney Orchard
was a ‘pie in the sky’ concept, so ahead of its time in offering
a rich array of amenities, innovative water management, and
diversity of ideas and housing styles. But Koren Development
thinks about the future, is such an erudite, knowledgeable
company, and is so devoted to building a sense of place and
community, that they insisted the project be developed in the
right way. Because they know governmental policies and issues,
the engineers at Koren collaborate so well, making them
wonderful partners. We are fortunate to have a developer of the
visionary caliber of Koren Development. ”
Janet Owens, Former County Executive, Anne
Arundel County
"Koren Development is dedicated to quality on every project.
They understand issues more readily. Their wealth of experience,
knowledge and focus gets the job done well and they are a
testament to their commitment to excellence."

"For ten years, Florida Rock Industries, Inc. has used Koren’s
full range of development services including budgeting,
planning, zoning and marketing. They have consistently done an
excellent job for us interfacing with political and community
leaders to facilitate the development of properties. We have
been very pleased with Koren Development’s services."
Scott McCaleb, Florida Rock Industries, Inc.
"I have worked with Koren Development since 1989. Over the years
I have found them to be fair-minded, willing to try new things,
firm and unfailingly honest. They know the Baltimore County
systems, partner well with everyone and deliver excellent
quality on every project. On the current Greenspring Quarry
site, we have walked the site together, sharing thoughts,
looking for the most innovative approaches and that is the way
they work—always establishing and maintaining excellent
relationships."
Pat Keller, Baltimore County Director of
Planning
"Because it is the little things that matter, Koren Development

development like Piney Orchard."
