Revitalizing the East Baltimore community.
Struever Bros. Eccles & Rouse, Humanim Inc., and Gotham Development LLC will redevelop the two remaining vacant historic buildings on the American Brewery campus, the Brewhouse and Bottle buildings, located in Baltimore’s Broadway East neighborhood just north of Johns Hopkins Hospital. Vacant since 1973, the signature Brewhouse building and adjacent bottling plant have deteriorated significantly and undermined the viability of the surrounding residential community that once relied on the brewery for employment. When completed, the buildings along with the already completed Cole Higgs Center will become an important hub of activity in the community—generating jobs and providing much-needed social services—while also sparking additional investment.
The project consists of two phases: the Brewhouse and the Bottle Building. The Brewhouse, a 30,000 square foot building that once served as the main brewing facility, will be transformed into Humanim’s Baltimore headquarters. Humanim is a 35-year old Maryland-based social and human services provider that has delivered programs and services in East Baltimore for the last 20 years. The Bottle Building, a 60,000 square foot c. 1937 industrial building will be converted into a center for organizations working in community arts, community services and small business development.
The Brewhouse is scheduled to start construction in summer 2007 with completion scheduled for the summer 2008. The Bottle Building is scheduled to start construction in 2008 with completion in 2009.
