(aerial) A partnership
between The Wilkinson Group, Forest City Enterprises and a group
of prominent local builders (Forest City-New
East Baltimore Partnership) is developing
the first
phase of this 80-acre mixed-use community, which
is
adjacent to the world-renowned Johns Hopkins
University
medical complex. At 31 acres, the first phase
is a 10-year,
$800 million redevelopment effort.
The Forest City-New East Baltimore Partnership team was selected by East Baltimore
Development, Inc., a nonprofit organization charged
with
leading and managing the revitalization of East
Baltimore. Local partners include Doracon/Lambda
Development, LLC; Legacy–Harrison Enterprises,
LLC;
Banks Contracting Co., Inc., and The Wilkinson
Group,
LLC, collectively known as Presidential
Partners, LLC.
With five research and office buildings planned,
the new
park will serve as an anchor where bioscience
companies
can draw on the resources of Johns Hopkins, the
University of Maryland, and nearby state and
governmental research facilities. The first biotech
building, 855 North Wolfe Street, will be anchored
by the
Institute of Basic Biomedical Sciences of the
Hopkins
School of Medicine.
The new housing to be built will include a
range of
affordable and market-rate units, both for-sale
and rental.
The 31-acre site will include
up to 1.1
million square feet of research and office
space, 850
residential units, 50,000 square feet of
retail amenities,
and 3 acres of landscaped parks,
The New East Baltimore Community is directly
adjacent
to the campus of Johns Hopkins Medicine,
about one mile
north of the Inner Harbor and historic
Fells Point.
