Ken Ulman sees College Park as a puzzle nearing completion. The pieces have been there for years, he says, but they are finally being put in the right places and in the next five years the full picture will take shape.
The former Howard County executive, who launched a consulting firm to assist with College Park’s development after his unsuccessful run for lieutenant governor in 2014, will discuss the big things happening in the college town at Bisnow’s Future of Prince George’s County event July 19.
“In five years folks will look back at College Park and it will be spoken in the same breath of the great college towns in the country,” says Ken, snapped above at a Bisnow event in September. “We’ve got all the makings of being that place. What we lacked was a comprehensive real estate strategy that would enable the university to truly develop that ecosystem of innovation.”
He pegs five years as the focal point for his vision because the Purple Line is slated to deliver and several big developments in College Park will open around that time, in addition to several projects delivering in the next couple of years.
