Ladies and Gentlemen,
I present to you...

300 East Pratt Street Tower in Beautiful Baltimore, Maryland!!!



FINALLY!!!!! Some good development news!

Yeah, it's only a rendering, but it's the "latest" rendering.

What do you all think?



"Pratt Street
300 East Pratt Street
Baltimore, MD
Type: Land Investment
Approx. 1 acre"

"Investment Drivers

Opportunity to acquire ownership interest in last prime development site on the Inner
Harbor of Baltimore."

This from: http://www.urbanamerica.com/urbanII-examples.html

Looks to be around a 42 story tower from what I'm guessing/counting.
:applause: :master: :rock:

Not a fan of whatever's happening in the upper third there.
I'm extremely happy that this project is still alive! Very happy about that.

Though the design could be much, much better then this. Baltimore needs to stop setteling to second best. Build something memorable.

It looks a lot like Hartford 21
It's nice to see something, but nothing on the site appears to be even close to mentioning a start date.
I like it Steven. I'm glad to be looking at this!

I agree..it looks weird. I'd like to see a cleaner look...maybe all glass.
I'm less concerned about the upper third than I am about the far right side that appears to be possibly a blank concrete wall. It reminds me of a mix between the Marriott in Harbor East and Ten Museum Park, recently completed in Miami. Also kind of reminiscent of the stuff going up right now in Rotterdam; kind of European looking. I like that the pedestal matches up to the height of the existing neighboring buildings.

Nice find, Steven. I'm glad to see something on this project. I just passed the site tonight and was wondering about it. The fact that it's labeled "Land Investment" however, leads me to believe that aside from a new rendering for marketing purposes, this project isn't any closer to getting started.
I like it but I agree it could be better. Is it just me or do most of our renderings look like something the winner of a kids lego building contest built? I travel all the time and I see other cities with nice gleaming glass and steel towers. Do we really have to have bricks or some kind of sail boat reference in every tower built here? Where's the immagination?
I agree

I just wonder when the economy will come back for some construction to start. 300 East Pratt appears at least 3 years away from breaking ground.

Yeah, nothing has changed concerning the "status" of the project. In other words, the tower won't get built anytime soon, I'm sure. BUT at least UrbanAmerica is throwing us a bone with this new rendering. It shows that the project is NOT dead. They are not giving up on it. It still presents a great opportunity for investment WHEN the economy gets going strong again. That is awesome, IMO. I mean, where is Arcwheeler with any updated info on the 10 IH project? And, the 300 East Pratt proposal has not had a recent rendering in a LONG time for the public to wonder about. I think, when all is said and done, this tower will rise, and it will be very tall and it won't look exactly like this latest version. There will probably be smoother lines and much more glass.
I'm just glad those guys have updated their site AND 300 E. Pratt info.

One step at a time. They gave us a recent rendering. Now let us wait until the time in the market is right to see what good happens next there. I mean, think about it. We've only have had about 95% bad news lately, development-wise. Let's just be happy about this for at least a little while longer. :D

The market will pick up for Baltimore sooner than the rest of the country due
to the BRAC process. 28,000 households by one estimate, will propell the
entire state, including Baltimore City forward in new development. The BRAC
process is only now just starting to pick up speed!!!
Crown please!!!

Couldn't have come at a better time!

Right on. The fact that they've updated with a new rendering is probably indicative of UrbanAmerica's perception that the economy is improving and the time is right to start luring investors and tenants in anticipation of the next boom.
here is another

^^ Awesome! Where did you find that one? :)

^^ Great! Thanks!!!
The smaller rendering shows more height. It does look to eclipse 500'.
^^ Yep. I believe so, too.
