The Women’s Home Preservation awarded $2.1M by Maryland Historical Trust to redevelop Ford Building.
Once a thriving commercial corridor, W Baltimore St fell into neglect following years of redlining and disinvestment. The Ford Building is one of the largest edifices on the corridor and a prized historic asset in the community. Its $10.5M rehabilitation will create a live-work hub for entrepreneurs, creators, and artists who will live, work, and collaborate under one roof.
In selecting our project, MHT wrote: "your project is one of only a handful of projects to satisfy the Trust’s historic preservation goals for the year. The rehabilitation of the Ford Building will not only help revive one of Maryland’s precious resources but will also assist Baltimore in sustaining vitality in the community. Your commitment to and investment in the State’s historic neighborhoods is greatly appreciated."

The award will support the $4.2M catalytic redevelopment of two properties that had been vacant since 1978
Our placemaking approach to redevelopment
We adopt a placemaking model to development by strengthening one block at a time. By focusing our resources in one place, we more efficiently implement the community's collective vision for the neighborhood while also taking advantage of economies of scale. Placemaking makes it possible to effectively compound the network effects generated by new amenities, innovative technologies, and modern buildings that accompany our projects. The resulting impact is an immediate increase in the safety, overall health and wellbeing of the neighborhood.
