Barclay's Turn for Some Revitalization




While much of Baltimore's development boom centers undeniably on waterfront neighborhoods, downtown, and several other hot spots such as Hampden, many other parts of Baltimore are also experiencing a notable renaissance. Telesis is building and/or renovating approximately 320 homes in central Baltimore's Barclay neighborhood, shown above. I love the cornices and the deep red color of the brick.
Residents of Barclay have easy access to Penn Station, the Station North Arts & Entertainment District, downtown Baltimore via the #8 bus line, Mother Seton Academy, a tuition-free middle school, and the Baltimore Montessori Public Charter School.
Though this photograph isn't particularly good, I included it to illustrate how the new homes (on the right) seem right at home adjacent to existing homes (on the left).
With a mix of apartments and town homes, both for rent and for sale, this development will serve people with a range of incomes, consistent with the goals of the city and the community. All of the homes incorporate environmentally-friendly building elements, and many are ADA-accessible as well. 
While all of the homes are handsome, I am particularly intrigued by the end unit with the turret. Good night from Barclay!
