How we reported this

Baltimore Peninsula Renewal
The scale of this effort in South Baltimore means residents could gain access to new mixed-use spaces and green areas over the coming years. The project timeline places initial work in Fall 2026 and wraps the full scope by 2031, directly tying new development to an established neighborhood.
Johnston Square and Perkins Square Housing
In Johnston Square a 109-unit apartment complex is under construction at Biddle and Green Avenue and will include a new Enoch Pratt Free Library branch. The Perkins Square area in East Baltimore saw new apartment buildings completed along South Caroline Street in 2024 to replace the former Perkins Homes public housing, with full redevelopment expected in 2025. These additions supply housing units and a library branch in specific locations that serve nearby residents.
Park Heights and Remington Projects
Cold Spring Lane in Park Heights is a newly proposed transit-oriented development featuring 164 mixed-income residential apartments, while Renaissance Row will add 84 affordable apartments east of Park Heights Avenue. In Remington a $13-14 million six-story 60-unit mixed-use building is planned at 211 W. 28th St. with completion targeted for Q2 2027, and North Avenue Market is undergoing a $32 million redevelopment into entertainment and arts space. These efforts introduce housing at different income levels along with commercial and arts space in established neighborhoods.
The projects supply concrete numbers of units, dollar amounts for construction and scheduled completion dates that residents can track through local planning updates. New apartments, library access and park acreage appear across multiple neighborhoods on timelines that begin this year and extend into the early 2030s.
