Location: Annapolis, Maryland
| Awards: |
2003 Best Adaptive Reuse Condominium Project in the Baltimore Metro Area by Trans Western Mid-Atlantic Multi-Family Group
2006 Winner of Innovative Infill Land Planning, 4-5 Acres, The Monument Awards by the Maryland-National Capital Industry Association and the Northern Virginia Building Industry Association |
Description: The five-acre site
is located within the Annapolis Historic District and,
at the project's start, was occupied by the operating
Anne Arundel County Medical Center. The Center was comprised
of a seven-story hospital building with a five-story
garage and multiple support structures. The new program
includes a medium-density residential development, extensive
streetscape, and a new waterfront park.
This project has been officially recognized
as a successful example of the State Initiative for
Smart Growth. The proposed redevelopment decreases the
existing impervious surface significantly. Run-off is
managed by a system of "best management practice"
facilities, including rain gardens, bio-retention, and
infiltration areas.
