A 28-acre site located at one of the most active transit nodes in Baltimore is the focal point of a 15-year long, $1.5 billion dollar multi-phase effort to radically transform an aging group of state government offices into a vibrant community. Seattle architectural firm Mithun has been selected, working in concert with Baltimore-based design firms The Design Collective and Cho Benn Holback + Associates.
The required sustainable master plan will transform a classic 1960s office campus into a diverse community that consolidates many of Maryland’s state offices while introducing new retail and offering a range of quality housing choices for in-city living.
“State Center has all the ingredients to be one of the greatest examples of the rebirth of the American city in this century,” notes Bert Gregory, FAIA, Chairman and CEO, Mithun. “A great sustainable rebirth built around reinvented existing urban infrastructure, great transit, and vibrant mix of uses and people in a walkable neighborhood. State Center’s core values, aspirations, stakeholder inclusion and unique public private partnerships will reinforce the uniqueness of Baltimore, while serving as a national model for Transit Oriented Development.”
