Located at the intersection of Light and Conway streets in Downtown Baltimore, 414 Light Street was built on the original site of the McCormick & Company. The 1921 industrial complex was a fond memory of many Baltimoreans for the spice aromas that wafted down to the streets below. [2] The McCormick building was razed in 1988 after the company had left the city for Hunt Valley. [3] The demolition of the original factory was heartily fought by preservationists, but The Rouse Company, developers of Columbia and Harborplace, won in the Maryland Court of Appeals. [4] The Rouse Company's plans for a replacement structure never came to fruition, leaving the property as a vacant parking lot.
After 25 years as a parking lot, construction began on 414 Light Street in 2014. Designed by famed Chicago architect Solomon Cordwell Buenz, the building has a contemporary style. The project is notable for being Baltimore's tallest apartment building, and third tallest skyscraper after the 1929 Bank of America Building. [5] Construction finished at the end of 2018. [6]
The building is home to 394 apartments as well as retail on the ground floor. [1] The apartments are considered luxury-style from $1,800, and penthouse rentals at more than $8,000 a month per unit. [7]
