Revitalizing rundown historic properties
We transformed three adjacent buildings and an empty lot in the historic Ridgely’s Delight neighborhood in Baltimore into desirable market-rate housing with ground floor retail geared toward smaller café and boutique tenants. The existing buildings, which had been vacant for 20 years, consisted of a historic four-story former manufacturing building and one- and two-story structures that were roofless and dilapidated. The project renovated the four-story building, incorporated the salvaged facades of the smaller structures into a six-story building, and constructed a new five-story building on the empty lot.
The historic structure includes the residential lobby and lends its character to the 54 apartments, mostly one-bedroom units, with a few studios and two-bedroom units with high-end finishes. Tenant amenities include a clubroom and fitness center with access to an outdoor green roof.
