The 400 Park Ave Redevelopment
At the center of Baltimore’s historic Chinatown district revitalization, sits 400 Park Ave, a new mixed-use redevelopment that spans nearly half a city block. The conversion project sets to transform seven city-owned properties and 4 main feature elements into multifamily residential units, retail, restaurant, and office space that will resurrect and modernize the historic district.
As part of the redevelopment, a vacant parking garage will be razed to make way for a 5-story multi-family residential building. The first floor will contain 1-story retail space and will integrate a portion of the historically-significant Martick Building.
Additionally, 5 existing rowhomes along Park Avenue will be converted into restaurant space. The former electric substation, known as the 409 Tyson building, is slated to be converted into a multi-use facility with about 40,000 square feet of commercial space.
As the prime consultant for the redevelopment of 400 Park Avenue, McLaren Engineering Group is providing structural and civil engineering as well as helping coordinate with the Commission for Historical and Architectural Preservation (CHAP) to maintain and preserve any contributing historical elements.
