LOCATION:
600 N. Montford Avenue is located in the McElderry Park neighborhood in east Baltimore. The properties are positioned at the southeast corner of the Monument Street business district, a commercial corridor running east from Johns Hopkins Hospital between Madison Street and Jefferson Street through roughly Milton Avenue. 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.

600 N. Montford Avenue comprises 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.
