COPT Defense Properties

COPT Defense Properties is a real estate company that develops, leases, and operates specialized, secure facilities for customers with demanding security and technical requirements, chiefly near key U.S. defense installations in the United States. Its portfolio includes commercial properties tailored to government, defense contractor, cybersecurity and hyperscale data center operations, alongside dedicated data center development.

The company's work spans tenant improvement construction, new construction, and day-to-day property operations engineering: maintaining commercial building systems, coordinating subcontractors, and documenting preventive maintenance. Technical domains at the firm include data center development, cybersecurity, secure facility design, building systems maintenance, and preventive maintenance. Personnel are credentialed, with security clearances common among staff.

Work is organised across asset management, leasing, development, engineering, property operations, government services and corporate teams, with property, construction and security expertise combined to meet customer missions. COPT Defense Properties partners with Skillbridge to give service members real-world training and work experience as they transition to civilian careers, and maintains strong engagement with the defense community.
