DEVELOPMENT ISSUES:

This property is located in downtown Towson, MD. This building is and existing 5-story office building in a high-rise zoned area of central Towson. The potential for this site is being underutilized. We recommended it to be demolished and re-developed as a high-rise apartment project. In this area there is also a good opportunity for a high-end condominium.

OPPORTUNITIES:
The project is adjacent to the central Towson retail and business center and is in proximity to several universities. This is a popular area for students and young professionals. The available develop-able property in central Towson is very limited and this site provides and unrecognized and underutilized opportunity.

DESIGN SOLUTION:
We recommending that the current 5-story office building be replaced with a 15-story apartment building over a 5-story mechanized parking structure. The result is transforming a relatively modest income property into a high profit apartment/condominium structure.
