Midland Affordable Renovation Plan Includes Mini, Micro-Apartments
The Cordish Co. has submitted its plan to redevelop the historic Midland office building into affordable housing, partly by offering some of the more “micro” apartments to date in downtown, as small as 315 square feet.
The $24.3 million renovation plan for the 12-story vacant office building at 1221 Baltimore is scheduled for the Planned Industrial Expansion Authority meeting next week. As part of the financing, Cordish is seeking a 25-year property tax abatement for its Midland plan.
