Project Overview
MK staff have experience with a variety of urban redevelopment projects, including housing (market-rate and affordable), mixed-use properties, transit-oriented development, institutional / campus improvements, and community facilities. The Baltimore City development process can include community presentations, consensus building, design charrettes, and partnering with Community Development Corporations, community associations, and/or tenant councils. We are well-versed in obtaining approvals for selected plans from the Baltimore City Site Plan Review Committee, Urban Design Architectural Advisory Process, Planning Department, and Planning Commission.
