300 North Charles Street
Originally built as a YMCA, this 124-year-old historic structure in downtown Baltimore has seen multiple transformations throughout its life. After a major renovation in 1970 converted the building into office space, Harkins took on a full-scale redevelopment, completely gutting the interior and transforming it into 36 loft-style apartments.
To honor the building’s historic character, the original façade was carefully cleaned and restored, reviving its turn-of-the-century charm. Inside, the site management team delivered a high level of finish throughout the units, resulting in distinctive, modern apartments that were quickly embraced by the downtown rental market.
