A New Era for Central Avenue

Developer Larry Silverstein is almost finished transforming the Fallsway Spring building on Central Avenue.  into offices for Groove Commerce, a website design, production, and maintenance company, and a restaurant space.  Central Avenue runs north from Harbor East behind Little Italy and has only recently become a development hot spot. 

By Degrees Cafe will open in the Fallsway Spring building in September 2013, showcasing the culinary talents of Omar Semidey, a chef whose resume includes The Wine Market and Fleet Street Kitchen.  By Degrees sounds like it will be a little bit more casual than these two fantastic restaurants, but no less tasty.

I lived in Little Italy when the the Canal Street Malt House condos opened, so the renovation and expansion of the Canal Street Malt House building occurred before 2005.  I used to sit on my roof and look at the building, thinking about what a good redevelopment opportunity it presented ... thank goodness that someone with the means and talent felt the same way!  The Canal Street Malt House is located at the corner of Exeter and Central.  Residents have ready access to the charm of Little Italy and the sophistication of Harbor East, while Fells Point, the Inner Harbor, and Downtown are just a short walk away.
