Cohen Ventures

Cohen Ventures Co. originated in the early 2000s as a real estate development firm with our primary investment focus being that of short term holds located in the Baltimore, MD area. We have since expanded our portfolio to include longer term holds and into several other counties and states along the Eastern & Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States.

Our portfolio began to grow substantially following our high-volume pursuit of well-timed & aggressive acquisitions, largely from the market fallout of the late 2000s leading to a plethora of real estate bargains with previously unheard-of yields saturating the market and our company positioned at the forefront to acquire and stabilize.

Our continued rigid investment buying criterion, strategic shift in the company focus inline with opportunities and adaptability to market trends, have been the special sauce in our achieving exponentially increasing return and growth rates, propelling us not only further into our real estate development and holding company roots by way of larger and more frequent and substantial acquisitions, but also into the other subsidiary divisions and profit centers which we have become today.

Our Founder & CEO, Richard A. Cohen, is a high-energy value investor with an undergraduate degree in (BA) Business Administration from Stevenson University, and an (MBA) Masters of Business Administration specializing in finance & entrepreneurship, From the University of Baltimore. At heart, he is a categorical opportunist who uses his “out-of-the-box” thinking to create value where often a business, property, or situation has been overlooked. "Our goal is to utilize the creativity and experience of our team, our network, relationships and resources to further propel profits not only year over year but exponentially more each year through our increased ability to capitalize on properties, concepts & opportunities which may be overlooked or lacking in forward progression. We often find creative ways to negate risk to allow for a property or company to be acquired by our firm. We understand that the market is fast-paced, ever-changing, often trendy and unforgiving —and thus we integrate our resources, divisions, discipline, research, network, and capacity to continuously refine & realign our various strategies, methods, efficiency creation, criterion & adaptability."
