No, Winter Didn't Stop Development in Baltimore!

While I hibernated throughout much of the cold, icy winter, developers broke ground on projects large and small throughout the city. Beatty Development is building Exelon's headquarters on Harbor Point, pictured here. The building will include 443,000 square feet of office space, 40,000 square feet of retail space and 103 apartments. Ultimately, Harbor Point will include 9.5 acres of public open space, including a waterfront park and promenade, a hotel, over 900 residences, 1.6 million square feet of class A office space, and 200,000 square feet of retail space. It's big.

Right around the corner from Harbor Point, the Four Seasons is adding 63 condominium residences - the Four Seasons Private Residences Baltimore - on top of the hotel, pictured here in front of the Legg Mason tower. The hotel debuted in 2011 and boasts one of the hottest happy hour spots in town, Wit & Wisdom. The gorgeous waterfront setting in bustling, sophisticated Harbor East is a perfect complement to the quality of service, attention to detail and superior amenities for which the Four Seasons is renowned.

Sagamore Development Company, LLC, is wasting no time preparing the 100-year old Recreation Pier in the heart of Fell's Point into a 128 room luxury hotel. Right now, they are reinforcing the pier structure so that it can bear the weight of the new construction. Guests of the hotel will find themselves in the midst of a charming, vibrant historic district, filled with one-of-a-kind shops, restaurants and bars, as well as easy access to the water taxi and other waterfront destinations.

Visit soon - you may fall in love!  P.S. This happy, hopeful statement is on the side of Baltimore's American Visionary Art Museum at the foot of Federal Hill.
