Real Estate 2025: REED, MAGGIE

In 2022, Gilbane Building tapped Reed to lead its Richmond business unit. One of the construction company’s youngest vice presidents, she has managed over $1 billion in contracts so far during her career.

In 2024, the Richmond Flying Squirrels selected Gilbane Building, along with Prestige Construction Group, to build the new stadium the Double-A team will lease. Now under construction and set to be completed in spring 2026, CarMax Park will be the centerpiece of the city’s $2.4 billion Diamond District mixed-use project and is projected to cost at least $110 million.

Gilbane has managed construction for multiple notable projects in Central Virginia, including the 415,000-square-foot Virginia General Assembly office building and the University of Virginia’s School of Data Science building.

Reed has helped Gilbane reach out to the community through the ACE Mentor Program of America, a free after-school program designed to attract high school students into pursuing careers in architecture, construction and engineering. She’s also a mentor in the Women in Construction Conference.

A registered architect, Reed graduated from Penn State — where she was a two- time All-American in rugby — with a bachelor’s degree in architecture.
