Silo Point is a landmark redevelopment anchoring the Locust Point waterfront, transforming a historic 1923 grain elevator and silo complex into a vibrant mixed‑use destination. For more than a decade, a Planned Unit Development – established through STV’s work alongside the development team – has guided reinvestment across the site. The iconic high‑rise structure has been adaptively reused into luxury condominiums, offices, ground‑floor retail and a parking facility, offering residents sweeping views of the Baltimore skyline and harbor.
What challenges did STV address?
Redeveloping an industrial grain elevator into a livable mixed‑use community presented significant planning, engineering and design hurdles. Integrating new streets and townhomes into the existing neighborhood fabric required careful coordination with city agencies, sensitivity to community character and comprehensive understanding of site constraints. Achieving approvals and entitlements for such a complex, long‑term redevelopment demanded a strategic and detailed approach.
What solutions did STV deliver?
STV provided site planning, civil engineering, landscape architectural design and entitlement support throughout the development process. The firm secured all necessary city approvals, facilitated the Planned Unit Development framework and designed streets, open spaces and infrastructure that seamlessly tie the historic silo tower to newly constructed homes and amenities. STV’s work ensured that historic preservation goals, modern development needs and community context were all aligned.
How does this project benefit the region?
The Silo Point redevelopment has catalyzed reinvestment in Locust Point by transforming an underused industrial facility into a dynamic residential and retail hub. The project preserves an important historic structure, enhances neighborhood connectivity, expands housing opportunities and adds new public‑realm amenities, contributing to Baltimore’s ongoing waterfront revitalization.
