Verde East at Howard Square

The keys to the success on the Verde East project were largely due to our tried and true Harkins Method, a successful blend of experience, instinct, and expertise that significantly reduces the time and cost on our projects. Located adjacent to the first phase of the Howard Square project in Elkridge, MD, Verde East transformed a former trailer park in an industrial area into a LEED Platinum-certified walkable community.  

Consisting of 344 luxury residential market rate apartments housed in two buildings, the community incorporates luxury amenity spaces, ample parking, and 17,000 sf of ground-level retail space. Known as a “wrapper” building, the first building tops out at six stories and is built around a six-story precast parking garage with 500 spaces.

This type of parking structure enables residents to park in the garage and walk right into the hallway of their apartment. The second building features four levels of residential apartments, a cast-in-place garage accommodating over 200 vehicles, and a landscaped promenade for both tenant and retail use.  

Top-notch common areas for residents is what sets this community apart. The first-floor clubhouse showcases a great room with a full kitchen and pub area, a game room, a business center, and a fully-equipped fitness center with a stationary bike room and yoga studio. Resident services like smartphone capable entry access and an Amazon hub universal package system complement the spacious lobby, while landscaped courtyards provide four-season appeal along with room for activities and comfortable seating areas.
