Silo Point
Enjoy views of Baltimore’s Inner Harbor from this newly renovated historic site
Offering the most unique exterior architecture of any condominium in the Washington/Baltimore region isn’t enough. Boasting the best views, bar none, of Baltimore’s bustling Inner Harbor and beyond isn’t enough. Featuring stunning luxurious homes wrapped in glass to maximize those views isn’t enough. Silo Point also has the most intriguing history of almost any regional residential project in recent memory.
Turner Development Group is creating the high-end Silo Point condominium community by renovating a 1920s-era Archer Daniels Midland grain elevator on Baltimore’s South Peninsula. From 1923 to 2003, the structure was a working grain elevator—the world’s largest and fastest at the time of its construction. Soon it will be home to some of Baltimore’s most sought-after condominium residences.
The Silo Point mixed-use development will comprise 228 unique, waterfront luxury condominium units with a centralized parking garage and ground-level commercial and retail space. Every home in Silo Point will offer spectacular water and city views of Baltimore’s downtown skyline, the Inner Harbor, Canton and Fells Point and historic Fort McHenry.
To take best advantage of these stunning views, every Silo Point home will have a balcony or access to the community’s rooftop garden.
The project’s architect, Christopher Pfaeffle, decided to emulate the process behind the grain elevator’s original construction, instead of erasing its history or recreating it with faux finishes and fixtures. The result is a one-of-a-kind industrial-rich design that retains the image of the building’s original use. Towering ceilings, open warehouse-style floor plans, exposed elevators and shafts, and exposed architecture enhance the building’s immense 290-foot main tower and 130-foot silos. Natural light pouring into the expansive lobby will help blend the beauty of luxury condominiums with the rugged might of a 70-year-old industrial site. The tower is the tallest building on the South Peninsula and the only building that overlooks Fort McHenry, downtown Baltimore, the Inner Harbor and the working Baltimore ports.
Buyers may choose from 15 to 20 floor plans, including 221 two- and three-level townhouses and condominiums with premium kitchens, bathrooms and walk-in closets. The complex also includes 11 two-story penthouses. Units will range from approximately 1,000 to 5,000 square feet and offer open, contemporary designs. Floor plans vary from one- to three-bedroom-plus-den options.
Luxury features in these homes include Lutron automated window treatments; Starr Systems customized home enhancement systems for lighting, music, climate, home theater and Internet control; gourmet kitchens with stainless-steel appliances and granite countertops; spa-inspired owner’s baths; smart-home wiring; nine- to 19-foot-high ceilings and designer fixtures.
Community amenities will include a fitness center, a community lounge and a wine club. The exterior landscape will maintain the historic flavor of the silos with grain-type plantings, while hiking, biking and walking trails wind through the site. For more information, call (410) 539-7456 or visit the Web site www.silopoint.com.
