DIVISION OF REAL ESTATE
Wm. Raymond Bosley, Director
301 W. Preston Street
Baltimore 21201 Telephone: 383-6063
The Division of Real Estate was administra-
tively formed by the Department of General Ser-
vices in July 1978. The Division combines the
Space Management Branch and the Land Acqui-
sition Branch under one Director. The intent of
this consolidation was to increase the coordina-
tion and efficiency of the State's real estate func-
tions, since many of these transactions overlap
the responsibilities of both sections.
Space Management
Klaus P. Heinemeyer, Chief
301 West Preston Street
Baltimore 21201 Telephone: 383-6063
The Space Management unit manages space as-
signments in State-owned facilities, acquires
leased facilities for all State agencies, approves
space modifications, establishes standards for the
allocation of space, negotiates the leasing of State
property (except Port and Aviation facilities), and
conducts surveys of State space requirements. The
Division also negotiates certain concession agree-
ments and makes recommendations concerning
the need for State office space construction to the
Board of Public Works.

Vacancy, Chief
301 West Preston Street
Baltimore 21201 Telephone: 383-6737
This Division is responsible for the acquisition

|
portation. The majority of the Division's work-
load involves the acquisition of Open Space prop-
erty for the Department of Natural Resources
that is to be designated as State parks, wildlife
preserves, and natural environment areas. Acqui-
sition activities include obtaining independent ap-
praisals of the property in question, conducting
negotiations with the owners of the subject prop-
erty, securing purchase options, and requesting
Board of Public Works approval on proposed
purchase terms. The Division also processes re-
quests to obtain or grant rights of way, utility,
preservation, and scenic easements. Property
transfers between State agencies and the disposi-
tion of excess property are also processed by the
Division and presented for approval to the Board
of Public Works.

chases annually exceed $94 million. Unless an
item costs less than $200 or is an exempted com-
modity, State agencies must submit to the Bureau
