Rise and Shine, Frederick.

We’re East Frederick, over here doing our thing—actually lots of things. Businesses. Residences. Spaces. Places. All kinds of faces. We’re growing like crazy, making things happen, and turning our city into something even better than it already was. And we’re just getting started. Think of us as the newest member of one big happy Frederick family. We’re the same, but a little different. Let’s rise. Together.
