The previous owner of the site secured passage of a Planned Unit Development (PUD) ordinance allowing for the construction of up to 5.5 msf of new, mixed-use development within the ± 43 acre site. The master plan and site plan received approval from the City’s Urban Design and Architectural Advisory Panel (“UDAAP”), Site Plan Review Committee (“SPRC”) and Planning Commission in 2007. Use guidelines for the project were preliminarily approved by the City’s Planning Commission, and confirmed through the establishment of the Westport Overlay District in the Transform Baltimore legislation in 2017. With zoning in place, and massing and uses already entitled, individual building parcels are staged for final design approval through Baltimore City’s UDAAP, SPRC and Planning Commission. The project can be developed in multiple phases. Phase I is currently planned to include parcels identified in Areas I, II & III, shown on the Westport PUD plan with a mix of single and multifamily residential, street-level retail and office uses. With office buildings busy by day, and residential buildings busy at night, the first phase is designed to showcase a true “24/7” lifestyle from the start. Phase II is envisioned to start with Area IV to extend north from Wenburn Street, incorporating more dense commercial and office uses outlined in Areas IV and V on the PUD plan. Connecting the phases with a central boulevard and waterfront promenade will make The Waterfront at Westport a fully integrated, walkable community. Adding to its unique location and live-work-play ambiance is the unparalleled transit-oriented development connections offered by the adjacent light rail stop.
