Baltimore Commercial Real Estate Market

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.
