MCCORMACK BARON SALAZAR, INC.
SAINT LOUIS, MO

McCormack Baron Salazar, Inc., founded in 1973, is a pioneering company dedicated to the development and management of quality, sustainable communities that serve families, children, seniors, and veterans. The firm's mission centers on rebuilding economically deprived urban areas across the United States by focusing on quality, affordable housing as its foundational element. The company’s roots trace back to 1963 when Richard Baron, an Oberlin College student, volunteered in Cleveland’s impoverished Hough neighborhood. This experience highlighted to him the urgent needs and potential of low-income urban communities. Following his legal aid work representing public housing tenants in St. Louis, he partnered with Terry McCormack, a labor leader and homebuilder, leading to the founding of McCormack Baron & Associates (now McCormack Baron Salazar) in 1973. Over the decades, the company has evolved significantly from its initial projects that focused on small, mixed-income rental housing sites. Now it addresses broader challenges by engaging in multi-block area developments and forming complex financial structures combining local and federal programs to support affordable public housing and market-rate homes. Recognizing that stable housing is only a part of community revitalization, McCormack Baron Salazar integrates additional services such as neighborhood education, early childhood development, youth activities, job training, economic growth, healthcare access, environmental stewardship, energy efficiency, and long-term engagement with communities. The organization has expanded its scope to include property management, asset management, public infrastructure consulting, sustainability initiatives, and specializes in New Markets Tax Credits. Forming enduring partnerships with local governments, housing authorities, non-profit organizations, critical institutions, and employers have been key to their approach as they confront 21st-century urban challenges. Headquartered in Saint Louis, MO, and operating under Florida Models Dossage (Status: Dos Florida Company Status), McCormack Baron Salazar remains a prominent figure in urban redevelopment. The company, incorporated on June 16, 2009, with filing number F09000002414, maintains an active legal presence in Broward County, FL.
