Greenebaum Enterprises, a Pikesville-based real estate company, was named the 2022 Robert L. Mitchell Founders Award winner by the nonprofit Home Builders Care Foundation.
The Mitchell award — presented Oct. 12 at HBCF’s 10th annual charity event at the Owings Mills Metro Centre — recognizes a lifetime of leadership and commitment to community outreach and charitable efforts, particularly within the state of Maryland and through HCF.
All proceeds from the event benefit HBCF’s programming to shelter and support the homeless and others at risk. The Mitchell Award was named in honor of the founder of HBCF.
“Greenebaum Enterprises is honored to be recognized for its commitment to philanthropy and dedication to sharing our resources to give back to our local communities to help make a positive impact on families and underserved communities,” said Michael Greenebaum, president of Greenebaum Enterprises. “We are proud to carry on the philanthropic tradition set by my late father and company founder, Stewart Greenebaum, who was one of our industry’s most generous community leaders for many years.”
Said Patti B. Kane, HBCF’s foundation director: “The Home Builders Care Foundation is extremely grateful for Greenebaum Enterprises’ extraordinary generosity over the years, which includes the gift of land and extensive professional in-kind contributions that led to the creation of the Maryland Center for Housing, our industry’s home, in the award-winning Maple Lawn community of Howard County where Greenebaum is the master developer.”
The Greenebaum Family Foundation is focused on improving the human condition, particularly in the fields of education and health care.
A Pikesville resident, Michael Greenebaum is co-chair of the University of Maryland School of Medicine Board of Visitors, board member of the University of Maryland Marlene and Stewart Greenebaum Comprehensive Cancer Center, and a member of the Johns Hopkins Peabody Institute Advisory Board.
He is also a former trustee of McDonogh School and in 2019 donated $8 million toward the construction of the Marlene and Stewart Greenebaum Middle School.
Greenebaum Enterprises is engaged in the development and acquisition of office, retail, residential and large-scale mixed-use properties.
