The Bainbridge Companies and National Real Estate Advisors today announced that Bainbridge Shady Grove Metro has been selected as a winner in Delta Associates’ 20th Annual Washington/Baltimore Apartment Industry Awards for Excellence.

 The 417-unit apartment community in Rockville, Md., which opened in September 2015, received the Best Lease-Up Pace for a Suburban Maryland Apartment Community award. The awards ceremony was held Oct. 19 in Washington, D.C.

"We could not be more proud of Bainbridge Shady Grove Metro and its leasing staff," said Tom Keady, President & Chief Executive Officer of The Bainbridge Companies. "This team has done a tremendous job with an incredible community in an outstanding location, and they are richly deserving of this award. Bainbridge Shady Grove Metro is the premier community in the area, in terms of both the quality of amenities and finishes and the unparalleled living experience the on-site team delivers."

Jeff Kanne, President and CEO of National, said “This project is a prime example of National’s commitment to invest in development projects which compete effectively with other properties in attracting residents because of quality features, location, and attention to detail in concept, delivery, and management.”

Bainbridge Shady Grove Metro also sits on the former site of the locally famous Reed Brothers Dodge dealership, which opened in 1915 and was the first Dodge dealership in Maryland history. A sculpture standing more than 20 feet high and over 6 feet wide on the front lawn of the community commemorates the dealership. The sculpture incorporates the look of 1939 Dodge headlamps and the fender of a 1957 Dodge pickup truck.

"During the latter part of 2012, Bainbridge proactively contacted me and asked if I would work with them to help showcase the dealership history into the design of the development,” said Jeanne Gartner, granddaughter of Lewis Reed, founder of Reed Brothers Dodge. “It was an honor to have served as their 'history consultant.’ I worked closely with Sabine Roy of SR/A Interior Design and sculptor TJ Aitken to pay tribute to a century of history at the new development.”

To further preserve the historical significance of the location and create a cohesive brand, Bainbridge included various automobile-themed touches throughout the community and its marketing collateral. Residents of Bainbridge Shady Grove Metro can select from community's floor plans named after Dodge vehicles such as the Durango, Dart, Dakota, Phoenix or Viper.

"Honoring the rich historical legacy of this site was extremely important to us," Keady said. "With the sculpture and the floor plan names, our residents and visitors feel a real connection to the site's past, and we pay tribute to Reed Brothers Dodge's role in creating a vibrant Rockville."
