In the early 1940’s, Albert Winer and his brothers developed a plastics business in the Odenton area and it became something of a company town. Over the course of their business years, they acquired property which needed to be managed and Albert’s son Jay started his property management business in 1983. Named after Jay’s own two sons (Adam and Jason), A. J. Properties was born. Over time, AJP became a partnership and most of the original Winer-owned properties were sold off and new opportunities have been pursued by the current partners, Jay, Stuart and Donna.
A. J. Properties, Inc. is a third-generation business legacy inspiration in Odenton, Maryland. Jay’s son Adam joined the firm and the legacy continues.
