Sweeping Renovations to Baltimore Broom Factory
The old Baltimore Broom Factory, which sits at a highly visible location on the corner of Boston and Conkling Streets in Southeast Baltimore’s Brewer’s Hill neighborhood, will be undergoing a redevelopment over the summer months. The building, which really was a broom factory at one point, previously contained low rent studio space for artists, fabric suppliers, and the like. Rumor has it that the newly renovated building will be home to a new 300 seat restaurant. The Broom Factory project will complement other developments in the area including the Brewers Hill Project by SBER across Conkling St. and Ed Hale’s Canton Crossing projet across Boston St. Over the next four years, this area of Southeast Baltimore stands to gain over 1000 housing units and thousands of feet of retail space.

The East Canton Area really seems to be on the verge of becoming the second best “destination” area of the city (behind Harbor East of course). If all the plans on the drawing board come to fruition, there will be two new hotels, 15-20 new restaurants, one million square feet of retail (including Harris Teeter, Target, etc), and over 1,000 residences. I hope to see all of this happen . . .
I can’t wait for some real shops in Canton, especially a new grocery store. I can never understand why the Safeway’s shelves are always stripped bare of any sale items.
