250 Mission at Baltimore Peninsula
Baltimore, Maryland
250 Mission is a new mixed-use, multifamily development located within the Baltimore Peninsula master plan in downtown Baltimore, MD. Brian O'Looney, as a design partner at Torti Gallas, led the team through programming, master planning, entitlement, and design for the project. Situated within one of the largest urban renewal projects in the United States, the development aims to revitalize and reshape the city's waterfront and surrounding areas.
The broader master-planned site spans 235 acres, including 2.5 miles of waterfront, with the remaining 177 acres dedicated to approximately 14.1 million square feet of mixed-use real estate. This mixed-use, mixed-income building stands as a dynamic part of this transformation, blending residential, retail, a central parking garage resource serving the entirety of the first phase of development, and community spaces in a vibrant urban environment.
Rooted in Baltimore’s historical industrial character, the building's design incorporates high-quality architectural elements that evoke the city's rich legacy while internally embracing a modern, urban aesthetic. The result is a distinctive structure that contributes to the ongoing revitalization of the Peninsula, offering a blend of innovative design and community-driven functionality. This development not only adds valuable housing and commercial space but also fosters long-term economic growth, enhancing the connectivity and sense of place.
