For 140 years, the 27-acre parcel now known as Harbor Point was the site of Allied Signal’s Baltimore Works facility. At one time, the plant was the largest processor of chrome ore in the world. When operations ceased in 1985, the community was left with a vacant site that was leaching chromium-contaminated soil and groundwater into the Baltimore harbor.

Following a comprehensive 10-year remediation, the Beatty team is now well underway developing and delivering a 4.5 million square foot mixed-use neighborhood with 9.5 acres devoted to waterfront parks and a continuation of the Inner Harbor promenade along the water’s edge.

The ongoing Harbor Point development is representative of the types of projects that the Beatty team is capable of successfully operating at a high level. Harbor Point is a complex development with buildings and park spaces in various phases of planning, design, construction, and management simultaneously. Additional complexity is added in the form of successfully applying for and receiving public financing in the form of TIF bonds, as well as the various environmental issues that had to be addressed before and throughout the construction process – the solutions for those challenges are frequently cited as an exemplary model of urban brownfield redevelopment across the county.
