The data, after all, pointed unambiguously to declining central-city populations and expanding suburban ones in nearly every American metropolitan area between 1950 and 1980. But downtowns didn’t go the way of the dinosaur. In fact, most of them have begun to grow again.” He’s right. Nationally, employment in city centers is growing while suburban employment growth is beginning to decline. Citing numerous studies, Polèse fi nds that the keys to this growth include a resurgence in business services jobs, neighborhoods that are active 24 hours a day, and, perhaps most importantly, a mixed-use symbiosis created when people cluster where they work with where they live. Downtown Baltimore, in 2014, continued to capitalize on all these trends, growing its employment and residential base, adding retail, welcoming performance venues like Chesapeake Shakespeare Theatre, and seeing increased private sector activity that included high-value commercial real estate transactions and progress on long-awaited projects such as One Light Street, Mechanic Center, and the former McCormick site.

OFFICE SPACE There was a good deal of commercial activity in 2014 as international investors capitalized on Downtown’s growing market value, particularly in Charles Center where almost twenty major new projects were underway and companies such as Cigna and KAO announced they would be moving into Downtown and signed leases totaling more than 35,000 square feet. Three offi ce towers sold for strong prices and multiple additional properties were listed by year’s end. Pratt Street offi ce occupancy rates remained in the high 90th percentile last year in 2014, led by companies like R2Integrated (15,400 square-foot expansion) and Shapiro Sher Guinot & Sandler (new 15,000 square-foot lease). Last year also marked a signifi cant turn-around for Downtown in terms of attracting large companies from suburban Maryland. Pandora, KAO, and MAIF were among the fi rms that departed locations in adjacent counties and relocated into Downtown to take advantage of its diverse and growing pool of worker talent. Downtown-wide, some commercial brokerage analyses saw vacancy rates rise modestly, while others observed a decrease. Averaging these out, the vacancy rate was up very slightly to 16.8% in 2014 versus 16.1% in 2013, with Class A lease rates remaining unchanged at $22-$27 per square foot.

A lack of available new units constrained supply, capping 2014 net population growth to just 635 people despite continued strong demand. Three large new buildings hit the market – 301 N. Charles (96 units), 520 Park Avenue (171 units), and The Lenore (102 units). Each has been leasing up ahead of schedule. Downtown’s overall population rose to just over 41,000. Despite the increase, Downtown’s national rank for population dropped one spot to 9th, as Washington, DC rose to number 8 with 44,000 residents. The rate of Downtown’s population increase is expected to rise more quickly as the pace of residential delivery speeds up. Almost 5,100 units are in the pipeline through 2017. Major properties expected to hit the market in 2015 include 10 N. Calvert (188 units), 10 Light Street (420 units), and 26 S. Calvert (167 units).

  • COVID-19 FOOD INSECURITY RESPONSE GROCERY and PRODUCE BOX DISTRIBUTION SUMMARY April – June, 2020 Prepared by the Baltimore Food Policy Initiative
    COVID-19 FOOD INSECURITY RESPONSE GROCERY AND PRODUCE BOX DISTRIBUTION SUMMARY April – June, 2020 Prepared by the Baltimore Food Policy Initiative OVERVIEW In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Baltimore Food Policy Initiative developed an Emergency Food Strategy. An Emergency Food Planning team, comprised of City agencies and critical nonprofit partners, convened to guide the City’s food insecurity response. The strategy includes distributing meals, distributing food, increasing federal nutrition benefits, supporting community partners, and building local food system resilience. Since COVID-19 reached Baltimore, public-private partnerships have been mobilized; State funding has been leveraged; over 3.5 million meals have been provided to Baltimore youth, families, and older adults; and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Online Purchasing Pilot has launched. This document provides a summary of distribution of food boxes (grocery and produce boxes) from April to June, 2020, and reviews the next steps of the food distribution response. GOAL STATEMENT In response to COVID-19 and its impact on health, economic, and environmental disparities, the Baltimore Food Policy Initiative has grounded its short- and long-term strategies in the following goals: • Minimizing food insecurity due to job loss, decreased food access, and transportation gaps during the pandemic. • Creating a flexible grocery distribution system that can adapt to fluctuating numbers of cases, rates of infection, and specific demographics impacted by COVID-19 cases. • Building an equitable and resilient infrastructure to address the long-term consequences of the pandemic and its impact on food security and food justice. RISING FOOD INSECURITY DUE TO COVID-19 • FOOD INSECURITY: It is estimated that one in four city residents are experiencing food insecurity as a consequence of COVID-191.
