The heliport was officially closed and decommissioned following major corporate changes at its owner, PHH Corporation. While an exact date is not publicly recorded, its closure occurred circa 2014-2018. This timeframe aligns with the sale of PHH's fleet management division in 2014 and the final acquisition and dissolution of the remaining company by Ocwen Financial in 2018, which led to the vacating of its Hunt Valley headquarters.
The closure was for corporate and economic reasons. The heliport was a private facility exclusively serving the executive transport needs of PHH Corporation at its headquarters. When the company was acquired and its operations were moved or integrated into the new parent company, the headquarters building was sold and the private heliport was no longer needed. Its existence was tied directly to the presence of PHH Corporation at that specific location.
The site of the former heliport is now part of the general-use parking lot for the large office complex at 11333 McCormick Road in Hunt Valley, Maryland. This building, the former PHH headquarters, is now a multi-tenant commercial office space. Satellite imagery of the coordinates still shows the faint, faded outline of the helipad's 'H' marking on the asphalt, but it is no longer maintained or designated for aviation use.
PHH Heliport was a private corporate helipad for PHH Corporation, a major US company specializing in fleet management and mortgage services, which was at one time a Fortune 500 firm. The heliport was a symbol of corporate prestige and efficiency during its active years, used to transport executives to and from regional airports (like BWI and DCA), financial centers, and other key business locations, allowing them to bypass road traffic. Its operations were strictly private (Pvt) and handled corporate VFR (Visual Flight Rules) flights. The heliport consisted of a single concrete helipad marked on the surface of the company's parking lot.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the PHH Heliport. The original operator no longer exists, and the property is now a multi-tenant office complex with no single tenant having the need for a private heliport. Re-establishing an active heliport at this location would require a new entity to undertake the significant cost, FAA certification process, and logistical planning, which is highly improbable given the site's current use as a standard parking lot.
