MCB Real Estate and Whiting-Turner Contracting Company are preparing to begin construction on the initial phase of the $900 million redevelopment of Harborplace in Baltimore. To provide information about job opportunities created by the project, they have scheduled a subcontractor outreach event for next week.
Project Overview
The entire project is a phased, mixed-use development that includes two apartment towers, offices, shops, restaurants, and public space. The first phase, called the Inner Harbor Park and Promenade Project, has been designed to revitalize approximately 20 acres of waterfront parks, promenades, and public spaces along Baltimore’s Inner Harbor waterfront.
Construction is expected to start in the fourth quarter of 2026 and will entail work on urban infrastructure, parks, and reconstruction of portions of the Inner Harbor Promenade. MCB and Whiting-Turner have scheduled a 90-minute briefing session to let subcontractors know about the many different jobs that will arise from this work and how companies can bid on them.
Outreach Event Details
The outreach meeting will be held on Wednesday, June 17, from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. on the eighth floor of 1 East Pratt Street, an office building owned by MCB. The event will provide an overview of the Harborplace project’s horizontal site improvements, including the promenade, bulkhead, and marine infrastructure, heavy civil, wet and dry utilities, landscaping, hardscaping, and public-space enhancements.
Attendees will learn about subcontractor participation opportunities and the bid procurement process throughout the development. The session will also provide an opportunity to connect with project leadership, development partners, and industry peers.
Companies already hired for design phases of the Inner Harbor Park and Promenade Project include Gensler, DesignHAND Architects, Hoerr Schaudt, and several others. The scope of the public elements of the project includes Mass Grading, Heavy Civil, Site Utilities, Road Realignment, Traffic Signalization, Custom Waterfront Seating Features, Site Amenities, Water Features, Amphitheater Seating, Marine Bulkhead, and Park Green Space, Hardscaping, and Landscaping.
