HEY BALTIMORE
D
owntown Baltimore’s vibe is upbeat as
neighborhoods rich in history rapidly
add new jobs, retailers, and residents.
Apartments and row homes are renting as soon as
they become available, and it’s not just residents
moving in. Companies like Pandora have relocated
to Downtown, and tech start-ups are snatching up
office space. National retailers have taken notice too,
including West Elm, Free People, and Warby Parker.
They’re all here because they want to be in a place
that inspires them. Downtown Baltimore is more
than what you’ve seen on TV. Come see for yourself.

DOWNTOWN IS GROWING.
More than 4,700 new
apartments, 450,000 SF of
retail, and 870,000 SF of office
space will open in the next
few years.
IT’S AFFORDABLE.
The average rent is a lot less
than similar-sized cities and
you don’t need a car. That
means you can afford to hit
the town, or ballpark, or
galleries, or theatres.
NEW DIGS.
New and recently-rehabbed
apartments are popping up
everywhere, like 10 Light
Street’s iconic conversion,
520 Park Avenue and the
accompanying Mt. Vernon
Marketplace, 1111 Light
Street’s environmentally-
friendly new build in Federal
Hill, and the artsy and
centrally-located Centerpoint
in Bromo Arts District.
