Baltimore Inner Harbor East

Baltimore, MD

Winner of the 1995 AIA Honor Award for Urban Design, Inner Harbor East was cited by the AIA as “a highly sophisticated example of how to create mixed-use communities that work by planning for integration of residential and commercial uses.” EE&K designed this project to add a residential dimension to Baltimore Inner Harbor, providing an opportunity for more people to live at the water’s edge while remaining close to downtown. The mixed-use program provides for residential, office, hotel, and ground-level retail space. The most intensively used element of the open space system is the promenade. This is linked with a new waterfront street that encircles the site, providing both pedestrians and automobiles access to the entire water’s edge, and creating a true neighborhood character.
