LOCATION:
2301 N. Calvert Street is located in the Barclay neighborhood in central Baltimore City, and is within the Old Goucher College National Historic District. Charles Village is immediately to the north, Remington to the west and Station North to the south. The Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), Johns Hopkins University, University of Baltimore and Penn Station have all fostered substantial changes in the area over the last several years. New education buildings, retail developments, multi-unit residential development, new home construction and renovations of existing buildings are all nearby. Amtrak has very recently selected a team to lead the 1.6 million square foot redevelopment of Penn Station and surrounding properties, which is within four blocks of the property. The expansive project is slated to include a hotel, expanded and improved retail and expanded traveler amenities, all aimed at revitalizing one of Baltimore’s most important transportation cornerstones. A number of residential and mixed-use developments are also occurring within the Barclay neighborhood, including the expansive North Calvert Green redevelopment plan, which has been underway for more than 10 years.
