10 Inner Harbor

10 Inner Harbor is a cancelled skyscraper project in downtown Baltimore at a site overlooking the Inner Harbor at the corner of Light Street and West Conway Street. Currently, this land is a parking lot, and earlier still it was a McCormick & Co. spice lot.

The project was expected to cost between $200 and $300 million, and the building would have featured between 150 to 200 luxury condominiums, a 225-room hotel, restaurants, shopping, and office space. The site is adjacent to Camden Yards, the Baltimore Convention Center, and Harborplace. With a planned height of 715 feet (218 m), enclosing 59 floors, it would have been the tallest building in Baltimore, the tallest building in the state of Maryland, and the tallest building between Philadelphia and Charlotte, North Carolina, usurping all of these titles from the nearby 40-story Legg Mason building built in 1973. The 1,500,000-square-foot (140,000 m²) project was being developed by Arc Wheeler and designed by Robert A. M. Stern Architects. The site was also slated to include about 1,600 parking spaces.

Inner Harbor

The Inner Harbor is a historic seaport, tourist attraction, and landmark of the city of Baltimore, Maryland, USA. It was described by the Urban Land Institute in 2009 as “the model for post-industrial waterfront redevelopment around the world.” The Inner Harbor is located at the mouth of Jones Falls, creating the wide and short northwest branch of the Patapsco River. The district includes any water west of a line drawn between the foot of President Street and the American Visionary Art Museum.

The name "Inner Harbor" is used not just for the water but for the surrounding area of the city, with approximate street boundaries of President Street to the east, Lombard Street to the north, Greene Street to the west, and Key Highway on the south. The harbor is within walking distance of Camden Yards and M&T Bank Stadium. A water taxi connects passengers to Fells Point, Canton, and Fort McHenry.

History

While Baltimore has been a major U.S. seaport since the 18th century, the historically shallow water of the Inner Harbor (prior to manipulation through dredging) was not conducive to large ships or heavy industry. These were concentrated in Locust Point, Fell's Point, and Canton.
