What does the Baltimore commercial real estate market look like?
Baltimore's commercial real estate market benefits from proximity to Washington, D.C., a major port, and world-class medical and research institutions. The Inner Harbor and Harbor Point developments have reshaped the waterfront into a mixed-use destination with significant office and hospitality inventory, while Port Covington's $5.5 billion redevelopment — anchored by Under Armour's global headquarters — represents one of the largest urban renewal projects on the East Coast. The Johns Hopkins medical campus in East Baltimore and the University of Maryland BioPark drive demand for lab space and medical office. Industrial demand remains strong at the Port of Baltimore and along the I-95 corridor, particularly for logistics and distribution facilities.
