Construction Underway at Fells Point Station
Friday, January 18, 2013

Construction at the historic Fells Point police station is well underway.

The team found an original jail door that
will be incorporated into the design.
Steel supports have been installed to
support the historic structure while
interior demo takes place.






















A former police station built in the 1920s, Fells Point Station is located at 1621 Bank Street in Upper Fells Point, Baltimore's oldest waterfront neighborhood. This urban renewal, residential project involves the rehabilitation of the historic building, with new construction of a four-story wood framed addition with a brick façade to complement the existing structure. The building will provide 47 apartment units above a concrete pedestal with retail space below.

Fells Point Station is a transit-oriented development with public transportation available to the front door. Additionally, there will be indoor parking provided for tenants. Other amenities include a lobby, clubroom, high speed internet access, and an exercise room. An elevated courtyard will provide common space and is also a green roof structure which will cover the parking and hardscape areas.

The project received 9% funding and loan funds from Maryland’s Department of Housing and Community Development. Additional financing sources include historic tax credit equity and funds provided by the City of Baltimore’s Department of Housing.
