The firm redeveloping Harborplace has taken control of the struggling Inner Harbor destination and on Thursday announced a design team to lead revitalization.
MCB Real Estate said it has completed a deal to acquire Harborplace out of court receivership. The Baltimore-based developer closed on a multiyear receivership process on June 21 that officially transferred ownership of the twin pavilions, now an aging and mostly vacant retail center.
The developer announced Thursday that architecture and design firm Gensler will lead a team reimagining the onetime centerpiece of downtown’s Inner Harbor redevelopment in the 1980s. Baltimore-based firms working with Gensler include Sulton Campbell Britt & Associates, BCT Design Group and Unknown Studio.
“At its best, Harborplace is the beating heart of Baltimore – convening communities to enjoy our city’s extraordinary waterfront,” P. David Bramble, managing partner of MCB, said in an announcement.
