Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

Located in the rapidly expanding Riverside neighborhood of South Baltimore, this historic, 135-year-old warehouse-to-retail conversion offers retail and restaurant opportunities with spaces ranging from 1,500 to 11,000 square feet. The building is strategically positioned in the first block of Light Street, at the heart of Riverside, which has over 1,300 new apartments within an eighth of a mile. The neighborhood is under-retailed, lacking shopping, restaurant options, and service retail. The Riverside building features exposed brick and beams and will be delivered in new shell condition, preserving much of the building’s historic elements. Several small bays front the intersection of Light and Wells Streets and can be leased separately or combined for between approximately 1,600 to over 11,000 square feet, suitable for a café, restaurant, or other retail. A sunlit central atrium with mezzanine-level meeting space is designed as a living room for the Riverside community. Two additional spaces can be demised or combined for between approximately 1,500 to 8,500 square feet, accommodating a wider variety of uses such as a brewery, coffee roaster, bakery, gym, or maker space. Second-floor office opportunities are also available. The property has quick access to I-95 north and southbound and is located between Federal Hill and the new Baltimore Peninsula. The property features all-brick interior and exterior façade restoration with barn doors to be installed. It is a future neighborhood destination with ground-floor retail and second-level offices, offering a high-exposure corner opportunity at Light and Wells Streets. The property size is 34,500 square feet.
