Rare opportunity to acquire a fully entitled, permit-ready multifamily development site located at the nexus of Fells Point and Canton-two of Baltimore's most desirable and vibrant waterfront neighborhoods. The offering includes 509 S Washington St. and adjacent Lots 55, 55G, and 55H on Duker St., totaling 6,447+/- SF of land with C-1 zoning allowing for 33 apartment units by right.

Additionally, the Baltimore City Site Plan Review has been completed and approved, allowing for expedited development.

The property meets eligibility criteria including a minimum of 20 units and a LEED Silver certification or higher. Investment Potential: This is a rare chance to deliver a mid-sized, boutique multifamily product in one of Baltimore's most in-demand neighborhoods.
