The corridor is well known to generations of Baltimoreans who have called the surrounding neighborhoods home, as well as tens of thousands of employees, patients and visitors to Johns Hopkins Hospital annually. The cornerstone of the corridor is the Northeast Market, which has served Baltimore for approximately 135 years. The corridor features an array of retail businesses, restaurants, neighborhood services and social and religious organizations.

2338 McElderry Street comprise adjoining warehouse buildings at the corner of the respective streets. Surrounding property uses include churches, an American Legion, elementary school and playground, clothing store, restaurants and various retail outlets, in addition to neighborhood homes. The location provides excellent proximity to a major potential customer base combined with easy access to US-40 (Orleans Street/Pulaski Highway), I-95, I-895, I-83 and the array of major employment centers immediately west and east of the property. The position on McElderry Street and Montford Avenue provides a slightly quieter location within an otherwise exceedingly convenient location.
