Homes and Offices Sprouting up Near Hopkins and South Clifton Park

Massive real estate development projects, such as Harbor Point, Canton Crossing, and the 88-acre East Baltimore redevelopment project near Johns Hopkins, garner a lot of press (deservedly so) but tell just a portion of Baltimore's redevelopment and revitalization story.  Wander around a bit and you will discover a great variety of renovation and redevelopment projects transforming neighborhoods and commercial districts all over town, to a bit less fanfare.   I feature three such projects here, all near the Johns Hopkins Medical Campus.  Nearly complete, this 50,000 SF office building developed by My Son Development sits at the corner of Orleans and Washington Street, immediately adjacent to Johns Hopkins.

Baltimore's historic buildings provide tremendous opportunities for adaptive reuse, and for people to live in homes with distinctive charm.  Here, The Woda Group is transforming Public School No. 99, originally built in 1891 and on the National Register of Historic Places, into The Columbus Apartments, 50 affordable homes in South Clifton Park. 

The future residents of these luxury apartments - Phase I of Jefferson Square at Washington Hill - will benefit from the on-site gym, theater, and outdoor courtyard with swimming pool.  The Jefferson Apartment Group is in the midst of constructing the 300+ unit green building, which also includes approximately 21,000 square feet of retail space.  A future phase of Jefferson Square is expected to include another two hundred apartments. 

 

Jefferson Square is located just one block from the Johns Hopkins Medical Campus, which you can see in the background of this picture, and a short walk to the Baltimore metro, Charm City Circulator, and Fell's Point, providing easy access to jobs, shopping, and entertainment.
