Welcome to the extraordinary transformation that's sweeping across an energized East Baltimore. Here, you are part of an old neighborhood made New again through the focused energy of business and academia – and the East Baltimore Development Initiative.

And what a transformation! There are 1,200 new or renovated homes planned, all centered around Johns Hopkins, one of the world's most prestigious medical institutions. The support and investment of visionary leaders in the neighborhoods surrounding The Townes at Eager are fueling the economic engine that will sustain and expand a brilliant future for you and other newcomers to the New East Side.

  • The 88-acre, $1.8 billion master redevelopment plan includes 80,000 square feet of retail space sure to create new excitement for those who love the convenience of city living.
  • Plans include a new Extended Stay hotel that would illuminate the corner of East Eager and North Wolfe streets, providing a comfortable home-away-from-home for area employees, guests and hospital visitors.
  • Sparkling new graduate student housing will add further vibrance to the neighborhood and convenience for those attending Johns Hopkins University.
  • A series of new Life Sciences buildings throughout the neighborhood will attract bright minds, new energy and the promise of attention-grabbing scientific breakthroughs.
  • Friendly, open green spaces such as the Ashland Commons Park offer a peaceful retreat where patrons of the New East Side can exercise, relax and enjoy the outdoors.
