LOCATION:
2926 E. Cold Spring Lane is located in the Lauraville neighborhood in northeast Baltimore, and is within the Hamilton – Lauraville Main Street District. Hamilton-Lauraville is among the best known and densely traveled corridors in Baltimore. The community features an exciting, broad variety of businesses, including Zeke’s Coffee, The Flower Cart, Silver Queen Café, Koco’s Pub, Snug Books, H&H Outdoors and Champion Pawn. Morgan State University is just about one-half mile east of the property. The area is also home to a collection of events throughout the year, including weekly markets, a summer concert series, small business promotional events, seasonal and holiday festivities. In addition to the University, businesses and events themselves, the area is a significant commuter route, with approximately 16,622 cars per day (AADT) passing the site along E. Cold Spring Lane, and another 6,391 along Harford Road (MDOT statistics).

The subject property is a multi-level multi-tenanted freestanding commercial building with a long rental history. Previously used as both retail and apartments, the property has been operated most recently for strictly commercial use. Conversion of upper level units back to apartments remains an efficient retrofit. The auction provides an opportunity to purchase a cash-flow asset near a University that has seen “record-breaking enrollment” over the past couple of years, and in an area with an exciting, progressive community dynamic.
