"In the current business environment, you would not normally be starting a spec office building, but National Business Park continues to differentiate from the marketplace with 100% leasing and continued strong demand, driven in part by the defense community," COPT president and COO Randall M. Griffin says. "We need to have product available to meet the continued demands of our existing tenants and anticipated new prospects."

The structure, according to the Anne Arundel Economic Development Corporation, will be the first class A office building to break ground in the county this year.
