GENERAL INFORMATION:
The subject property comprises a flex showroom building with parking, loading dock and drive-in bays in the Midtown-Belvedere neighborhood in central Baltimore City immediately north of Mount Vernon. The site includes 5 lots totaling 0.40 acres with frontage on two streets and a 10' alley. The building was home to the ODORITE Company, who called the Mount Vernon area home for approximately 70 years before being sold in 2023. The auction provides an opportunity to purchase a large, contiguous site with substantial building near the University of Baltimore, MICA, Penn Station and many of Baltimore’s most important arts and cultural centers. The site is well positioned as either a prominent business headquarters or for a comprehensive redevelopment for any number of commercial, residential or mixed uses.
LOCATION:
1111 Maryland Avenue is located in the Midtown-Belvedere neighborhood in central Baltimore City. Surrounding neighborhoods include Mount Vernon, Bolton Hill, State Center and Charles North. The University of Baltimore and Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) campuses surround the site. In addition to MICA, the area is home to many of Baltimore’s best known arts and entertainment facilities, including the Meyerhoff Symphony Hall (BSO), Lyric Opera House, Metro Gallery and the broader Station North Arts & Entertainment District.
The location is exceedingly convenient. I-83 (Jones Falls Expressway) is located immediately north and west, with access readily available from exits 3, 4 and 5. US-40, both North Avenue and Franklin/Mulberry Streets, is within one-half mile. I-95, I-395 and MD-295 (BW Parkway) are easily accessible via MLK, Jr. Boulevard and a handful of alternate north/south streets. Baltimore’s Penn Station, a hub of ongoing development in the area, is less than one-half mile north. Downtown Baltimore, the Inner Harbor, Harbor East and Federal Hill are all a short distance south. The property is located within an Enterprise Zone, providing real property and State income tax credits.
