Rick Byrd, Partner and Michael Weinstein, Partner
Cockeysville, MD 21030
Rick Byrd and Michael Weinstein began Prime Development in 2021 as two friends leveraging their talents, Byrd as a general contractor, licensed builder, and licensed real estate broker, and Weinstein as a mortgage loan officer. They began by investing in underdeveloped/underserved neighborhoods in Baltimore City and are now a fast-growing company with a network of private investors and a robust pipeline of residential and mixed-use projects. The company focuses on high-return, highintegrity real estate investments—including spec home building, flips, adaptative reuse, and more—with a specialty in turning overlooked properties into high-quality assets that improve neighborhoods and deliver solid returns to investors. Prime’s approach is a unique blend of design excellence, construction experience, and financial discipline and is rooted in positive community impact.
