About Us

Proudly based in Baltimore, Beatty is an experienced real estate development group that creates true urban neighborhoods through innovative design, smart development, and tailored asset management. Our firm specializes in taking on challenging, transformative projects – the ones with economic complications or regulatory challenges (sometimes both).

Michael S. Beatty is the President and creative influence for Beatty. Prior to the formation of his own firm in 2013, Michael co-founded H&S Properties Development Corporation with John Paterakis in 1995 to develop and manage Harbor East, a dynamic, 20-acre mixed-use neighborhood with six million square feet of development worth more than $1 billion.

As “a small firm doing big things,” Michael and his experienced team employ the same fundamentals that he used to make Harbor East successful – broad vision, forward-thinking design, environmental respect, and neighborhood synergies – and apply them to the master planning and development of new projects throughout Baltimore.
