In the midst of Baltimore’s most recognized “walkable” neighborhoods, Marks, Thomas Architects set a new standard in active urban living by transforming a former department store into a mixed-use development comprised of luxury apartments, street retail, and commercial office spaces.
Uniquely situated within the historic Federal Hill neighborhood, the 185,000sf property touches parts of four surrounding blocks, and rises four-to-six stories. It is comprised of 96 apartments, 5,000sf street retail, and 20,000sf of commercial office space. Numerous featured amenities include a club room, fitness center, elegant lobby, an entertainment lounge, a roof deck, a landscaped courtyard terrace and 104 private underground structured parking spaces.
Tenants are attracted to the efficient layouts that offer incredible views and daylight, while minimizing utility expenses and wasted space. The apartments have contemporary flush wood cabinets, granite countertops and laminate flooring. Interiors lines are clean and modern drawing their inspiration from the composition of the glass facade. Hints of the old brick structure peek through the new art display niches in the building’s lobby and act as a textural backdrop to the art. The office space has attracted a technology incubator with a handful of young tech startups. On any given day, tenants enjoy an easy stroll to favorite local hangouts, to sport venues, and to the Inner Harbor or downtown.
