About Brendan McCluskey
Founded by Brendan McCluskey in 2015, Trident Builders made its mark in the Baltimore area by performing interior fit out with clients such as The Ritz Carlton and Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse. However, the team has its roots in heavy out-of-the-ground construction, as well as multi-family development. This expertise in delivering heavy base building, technology, and high-end finishes was fostered when Trident’s leadership worked for some of the best builders and developers in the country. During this time, Mr. McCluskey delivered over 1,000 apartments and condos, a skyscraper, a half dozen garages, several luxury hotel branded properties, improvements at public and private schools, new construction and repairs at both Ivy League and public universities, museums, high-end restaurants, and energy generation infrastructure projects.
Brendan is a graduate of Eckerd College with a BA in Management and an MBA from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. He has completed Master’s-level study in Real Estate Development at Georgetown University, and is a LEED Accredited Professional (LEED AP), Project Management Professional (PMP), and he is also a Certified Passive House Builder (CPHB).
In 2017, Mr. McCluskey earned a Certificate of Entrepreneurship from Goldman Sachs 10kSB Program, a selective and intensive program focused on potential high-growth companies administered by Babson University, and conducted at The Johns Hopkins University. He serves as both a program Ambassador advocating its benefits to small businesses, and as a team captain and member of the state's Leadership Council for the 10,000 Small Businesses Voices program, an advocacy program promoting the needs and interests to state and national government leadership.
