Our Team

JM Schapiro is Chief Executive Officer of CRC, where he leads the Executive Committee and oversees the firm’s long-term strategic direction. Over more than three decades with CRC, he has played an integral role in the company’s growth and evolution, drawing on extensive experience in real estate finance and leasing, as well as a deep understanding of investment strategy and real estate markets.

Through his tenure at CRC, JM has built and developed a senior team with deep expertise across key disciplines and established the Executive Committee to bring those perspectives together around the firm’s strategic priorities. That structure has helped support CRC’s evolution into a broader national real estate investment platform. His approach combines a clear long-term vision with a strong belief in surrounding himself with experienced leaders and empowering them to bring their expertise to the organization. He stays closely connected to both senior leadership and property teams, using those perspectives to challenge assumptions, inform decisions and keep strategy grounded in the realities of the firm.

JM holds a B.S. from Bucknell University and an M.S. in Real Estate from Johns Hopkins University.

Beyond CRC, he is a co-founder of Baltimore Homecoming, an initiative that connects Baltimore’s accomplished natives and alumni with leaders driving the city’s future. He also serves on the Boards of Trustees of Bucknell University, Cristo Rey Jesuit High School and The Johns Hopkins Hospital.
