I had the opportunity yesterday to tour Turner Development's newest project in Baltimore's Locust Point neighborhood yesterday, and the day before. I feel that I need to consult a thesaurus prior to making this post, as I don't think that my feeble vocabulary is stocked with enough superlatives to describe this truly amazing project. I want to be clear, that I have been skeptical of this project since its inception, but am truly blown away by the progress, and with the finish line is sight, the end result. I originally and naively thought that it would be crazy to build a luxury development like this in South Baltimore, without the businesses in place to cater to the residents, but now firmly believe that Silo Point is about to be the anchor that turns Locust Point into one of the premiere neighborhoods in Baltimore.
Silo Point is a 228 unit development is a conversion of a 1920's grain elevator silo, nestled in perhaps the most attractive piece of water-front in Baltimore, near Fort McHenry. The northern side of the building has absolutely stunning views of the Baltimore City Skyline, and the Inner Harbor. The neighborhood has building restrictions in terms of height, but Silo Point is grandfathered, meaning that nothing is going to block these truly extraordinary views.
To me, this project redefines luxury. The insdescribable views aside, this development offers every amenity one could look for. I found myself speechless at the level of workmanship that went into the conversion of this structure, retaining much of the original concrete (especially breathtaking are the columns in the main lobby) while bringing all of the modern amenities one could want, including AMX touchpad technology, closets by closet innovations, a myriad of available floor-plans (I think 30 at my count), terrific restaurants, a concierge, 24hr gym, and the list goes on.
My clients and I stopped in on Sunday afternoon while we were touring other properties in the area and were met by very friendly staff, and a stunning sales center. Sadly, we were unable to take a tour that day, but quickly rescheduled for the following day. We were met the next afternoon by Scott, the very personable and extremely knowledgeable sales manager. We viewed a number of different floor-plans and models, and were impressed by just about everything, including the price (most of what we looked at was under the $750k mark). There was a flurry of activity, with workmen everywhere as they get ready for an opening event in the coming weeks.
If city living is your thing, take a look at Silo Point...here I am, publicly "eating crow," I was wrong...way wrong...Congrats to the folks at Turner Development, this project is a home run (did I mention you can see Camden Yards)
