MCB REAL ESTATE AND PARTNERS BREAK GROUND ON MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR
TRANSFORMATION IN WEST BALTIMORE
BALTIMORE, MD (August 25, 2022) – Today, MCB Real Estate, along with MLR Partners and
ATAPCO Properties announced the first phase of redevelopment of Madison Park North,
located at the 800 block of West North Avenue. The project represents a multi-year
planning effort to bring generational investment to a multi-block radius on the west side of
Baltimore City.
“This community has been waiting for investment like this for decades and I am so proud
that we are leading the investment for a new West Baltimore gateway,” said P. David
Bramble, Managing Partner and co-founder of MCB. “I know how important it is to have
retail and new residential in this area because this is my neighborhood – the place where I
grew up and still live with my family. The level of excitement I feel to get started on this
project cannot be overstated and I absolutely love the fact that MCB is proving, once again,
that there are opportunities in Baltimore’s often neglected neighborhoods”
The three parcel, 8.1 acre redevelopment will be completed in two phases. Phase 1 will
include 120 new townhomes; new infrastructure, including new roads to increase
walkability and over $1 million of public right-of-way improvements along North Ave; more
open space and green space including increased tree canopy, additional off-site trees
within neighborhood, and a new neighborhood park. Phase 2 is slated for a grocery store
to create new fresh food access, street level retail, approximately 200 apartments,
including workforce housing and up to 100,000 SF office space.
“This has been a long time coming,” noted Mark Renbaum Principal of MLR partners, one of
the developers on the project. “This project reflects an incredible collaboration among the
Community, Baltimore City & State of Maryland officials, private parties, and so many
connected stakeholders.”
“Atapco is enthusiastic about the opportunity to join Dave Bramble and all the other
stakeholders in this very significant Madison Park North redevelopment, which adds to our
long history of support for Baltimore City. We want to thank all of the local neighborhood
associations along with the Neighborhood Impact investment Fund, State DHCD, Baltimore
Development Corporation and City’s DHCD who all have played crucial roles in making this
oncein a generation redevelopment possible”noted Kevin McAndrews President ofAtapco

commitment was crucial to getting us here today.”
