CK Commercial Ranks #4 on Baltimore Business Journal Fast 50 List

We are excited to announce that CK Commercial has been ranked #4 on the Baltimore Business Journal’s prestigious Fast 50 list for 2025! This ranking recognizes the 50 fastest-growing private companies in the Greater Baltimore area based on their revenue growth over the last three years.

To qualify for the Fast 50, companies must be privately owned, headquartered in Greater Baltimore, and meet strict financial criteria, including generating at least $3 million in revenue in calendar year 2022 and increasing revenue each year thereafter. CK Commercial’s consistent growth and commitment to excellence have earned us a top spot on this highly coveted list.

The Baltimore Business Journal commended CK Commercial for its innovative approach and strong performance in the local construction sector. According to the publication’s feature, “CK Commercial’s continued success can be attributed to their ability to adapt to industry trends while delivering exceptional service to clients.” This recognition highlights the hard work of our entire team and our dedication to driving impactful, sustainable growth.

“We don’t have any secret sauce other than some of the basics: do what you say you’re going to do, be fanatical about what you do, and just try to be a good person to be accountable,” CK Commercial Founder and Lead Strategist Mike Crim said. “Everything will take care of itself.”

Thank you to our incredible clients, partners, and employees for helping us reach this milestone. Here’s to continuing our momentum and achieving even greater things together in the years to come!

CK Commercial Honored with First Place in the Baltimore Business Journal’s Best Places to Work Small Category

CK Commercial is excited to announce that we have secured the #1 position in the Small Business category of the Baltimore Business Journal’s Best Places to Work for the second consecutive year! CK Commercial is proud to have been honored through this program for seven consecutive years. This prestigious honor highlights our strong commitment to fostering a positive workplace culture and prioritizing the well-being of our team. At CK Commercial, we believe that when our team members thrive, we achieve better results and deliver exceptional outcomes on every project.

This year’s recognition comes after a rigorous months-long evaluation process conducted by Quantum Workplace, a trusted workplace assessment partner based in Omaha, Nebraska. The process began with a call for nominations last fall. From there, Quantum surveyed our employees to gather insights on crucial factors such as leadership, culture, benefits, diversity, equity, inclusion, and more. The survey results determined engagement scores, and the top 50 companies in the region with the highest scores made the prestigious list.

The competition was fierce, as participating companies were ranked across four categories based on their size: micro, small, medium, and large. Quantum Workplace assigned each company an overall score out of 100%, and we are proud to emerge as the top scorer in our category.

This year’s awards were celebrated during a memorable event at Camden Yards on July 17, where all winners were honored for their dedication to creating workplaces where employees can truly thrive.

We are deeply humbled and grateful to our talented team for making CK Commercial a place where passion, collaboration, and excellence define everything we do.
