GENERAL INFORMATION:
628 Portland Street is an end-of-group shell building next to the Babe Ruth Museum, two blocks from Camden Yards and two blocks from University of Maryland Baltimore. The location is very well demanded among University of Maryland students and staff, in addition to those working at other large and small companies in the immediate area. Access to major commuter routes is optimal, with I-395, I-95, MD-295 and I-83 all easily accessible from the location. The building has been gutted, partially re-framed and with further stabilization efforts, leaving a blank canvas for development as a multi-unit or single family residence.

LOCATION:
The property is located in the Ridgely’s Delight neighborhood in South Baltimore. Nearby neighborhoods include Barre Circle, Washington Village – Pigtown, University of Maryland, the Stadium Area & Entertainment District, Otterbein and Federal Hill. The property is ideally situated among some of Baltimore’s most well-known institutions and destinations, including Camden Yards, M&T Bank Stadium, the Baltimore Convention Center, and the aforementioned University of Maryland Baltimore Campus, which includes a hospital, medical school, law school, biomedical research campus and more. The Babe Ruth Birthplace and Museum is immediately behind the property. Access to major commuter routes is excellent, with relatively immediate access to I-395, I-83 straight down Pratt Street and many other significant commuter routes in the immediate proximity. Ridgely’s Delight itself is a National Historic District, and CHAP tax credit eligible, with history going back about 200 years. The neighborhood is home to about 400 residences, and is well known for its historic architecture in addition to the proximity to the Stadiums and UM campus.
