Early Development

David Kornblatt, together with Irv Blum, Willard Hackerman, Leroy Hoffber and other limited partners, developed 25 S. Charles Street. The 270,000- square-foot office building included an above ground 450-car parking garage, as well as cafeteria-style restaurants within the facility. First National Bank of Maryland, now M&T Bank Corporation, opened a bank branch operation on the ground level of this building. Shortly after, other high-level corporations signed up for office space. The Kornblatt Company handled the leasing and management of the property until First National Bank of Maryland purchased the building.

Bettering the Area

The Kornblatt Company is always striving to better the area in which they do business. Along the lies of that philosophy, they purchased the former Sonneborn Building (a manufacturing plant) at the corner of Paca and Pratt Streets. Extensive renovations converted the large floor plate in a 270,000- square-foot office building, which was then leased to First National Bank of Maryland as an operations facility. This particular project salvaged an old classically well constructed building and created useful, modern office space at a more efficient cost. The Kornblatt Company owned the building and provided on-site management services. Currently, University of Maryland Medical Systems occupies and manages the entire building.

Setting the Standard

In 1989 the corner of St. Paul and Lexington Streets took on a new life when The Kornblatt Company designed and constructed St. Paul Plaza, a 280,000- square-foot office building. With all of its amenities and superior construction, St. Paul Plaza became a model of efficiency and style. Currently, The Kornblatt Company owns the building and provides on-site management for all of its tenants.

The St. Paul Plaza currently has office space available for lease. (hyperlink)
