OUR LEGACY THE HISTORY OF THE BRICK COMPANIES The Brick Companies was founded in 1892 as the Washington Brick and Terra Cotta Company and was located along the Washington City Canal in Southwest Washington, D.C. For decades, the company’s sole business was manufacturing brick and terra cotta pipe. In 1917, the company purchased a new plant along the banks of the Potomac River in Arlington, Virginia. But after a massive fire destroyed the plant in 1939, the company never made another brick. However, the fire sparked changes that would ultimately take the company in new directions and allow it to grow and thrive in a variety of businesses. ​ For many years after the fire, the property lay mostly empty with a few leasing opportunities that included the Jubal Early Homes project during World War II, which temporarily housed Pentagon employees for many years, the Airport Drive-In Movie Theater in the late 1940’s and a successful bowling alley in the 1950’s. ​ In 1964, Mr. Robert Smith approached The Brick Companies about leasing land to build an apartment building where the brick yard once flourished. When that project was completed, a large crystal chandelier was hung in the lobby and the building was named Crystal House. ​ This project sparked a partnership between Mr. Smith and The Brick Companies that led to six office buildings and two more apartment buildings along with underground retail space and parking known as Crystal Plaza, completed in 1968. Crystal Towers and the Marriott Crystal Gateway Hotel soon followed in the area, now known as Crystal City. These wonderful partnerships provided the foundation and financial platform that has allowed the company to invest and diversify into golf courses, marinas and residential, commercial and retail real estate. ​ In 2002, TBC moved from Washington, D.C. to its current corporate headquarters in Edgewater, Maryland to consolidate management that had expanded into three states. ​ Today, we exist to create memorable places for current and future generations through social responsibility and environmental leadership. With over 175 employees, The Brick Companies has been rooted in Anne Arundel County for over 20 years and works tirelessly to make a positive contribution to our community.

2022 GOOD WORKS RECAP We recognize that the most significant impact happens when we work at the intersection of community needs, employee interests, and company priorities. Prioritizing our Good Works in-kind contributions Partnering with nonprofits suggested by our employees, we launched charitable drives, soliciting donations to make positive change. ​ Giveback Boxes for Ukrainian Refugees Backpacks & Toothpaste for The Complete Players Charity Summer Wellness Kits for The Lighthouse Shelter Maryland SPCA Food Drive School Supplies for Volunteers of America's Operation Backpack Arts & Crafts Supplies for The Boys & Girls Club of Annapolis & Anne Arundel County Winter Clothing Drive for The Lighthouse Shelter YWCA National Capital Area Holiday Angel Tree ​ Along with our charitable drives, we gave back to the community through other actions, including a blood drive for Luminis Health Anne Arundel Medica Center at The Brick Companies Center and many donations of golf rounds and cottage stays at Queenstown Harbor to charity auctions. FINANCIAL GIVING Direct Grants Throughout the year, The Brick Companies Foundation, with the help of TBC, provided valuable resources through financial donations to nineteen organizations totaling more than $163,000 . ​ Some of The Brick Companies' larger gifts: $130,000 to Luminis Health’s J Kent McNew Center - a stand-alone mental health facility that provides inpatient and outpatient mental health services in Anne Arundel County $10,000 to Anne Arundel Community College for The Brick Companies Scholarship in Honor of Marjorie Kingsman Groom, making the scholarship the first-ever endowed scholarship at AACC that supports students pursuing workforce development programs ​ $2,500 to Volunteer Florida for The Florida Disaster Fund to help those affected by Hurricane Ian Employee Matching Program The Brick Companies is proud to support the philanthropic efforts of our employees with our matching program. In 2022, six employees took advantage of this initiative, and TBC matched $3,028 dollars in contributions. GivHero Our GivHero program combines two priorities important to the company: wellness and giving back. We recognize that healthy employees are the key to a healthy workplace and successful business. Our partnership with GivHero motivates our employees to get moving while giving back to the community. It is simple. Employees download the app and log their steps. If they reach the company’s goal, $1 is donated to their chosen charity. Through this program in 2022, we have donated $6,449 to local charities, and our 32 heroes (employees) have logged 73,723,929 steps . Environmental Initiatives Our environmental best practices at each of our properties play a significant part in the Good Works culture. Queenstown Harbor Solar Panels – So far this year, Queenstown’s solar array has produced 76,507.6 kWh, that's the equivalent of powering five, average use, 1,500 sq. ft homes for an entire year! ​ Bermuda Grass – The fairway renovation on the River Course over the summer replaced the existing fairways with Tahoma 31 Bermuda grass. This improvement impacts the environment daily by decreasing the need for pesticides, fertilizers, and water. Atlantic Marinas Clean Marinas Certification – All three locations are once again certified clean marinas, meeting the rigorous pollution prevention standards established by the Maryland Clean Marina Committee and the Department of Natural Resources. ​ Oyster Gardening – Atlantic Marinas proudly participates in an annual oyster gardening program through the Magothy River Association and the Chesapeake Bay Foundation . Spat (tiny baby oysters growing on spent shells) batches are added to cages suspended under the marina docks. Once the oysters have grown, they are placed onto protected local oyster reefs, where they will improve the water quality. Commercial Real Estate Beehive – Our rooftop beehive at Lakefront in Gaithersburg helps support the pollinator population while engaging and educating our employees and tenants. Our one hive is home to 21,000 honeybees. ​ UL Verified Healthy Buildings – Three commercial real estate properties, Edgewater, Rockville, and Tysons Corner, attained verification for healthy air. These facilities participated in a thorough evaluation process that included an audit, on-site inspections, visual inspection, and Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) performance testing, among other assessments. This certification shows that these buildings have excellent indoor air quality. Employee Resource Groups The Brick Companies has created employee resource groups to engage our employees and their passions to have the greatest impact on the company and the community. Look for these groups to be the drivers of our Good Works in 2023. BEST PRACTICES
