BALTIMORE—As recently as last week, Harbor East Management Group had been trying to decide whether to add six floors or eight floors to Four Seasons Hotel Baltmore. It appears the developer is taking a more modest approach: it has proposed to add six floors of condominiums to the 21-story building.
The design calls for 63 condominiums instead of the ambitious 150 units that was part of the original plan, according to the Baltimore Sun.
"We would love to build the full building, and we think the full building looked great, but we don't think the market can sustain it," says Jason Huss, development director for Harbor East Management Group, an affiliate of H&S Properties Development Corp. "Honestly, we're still not certain whether or not the condo market will sustain (the new units)."
The developer originally planned a 44-story building, but finished just 21 floors in 2009 during the recession. On Thursday, the city's design review panel approved the design for the additional condo space. The Four Seasons is the only announced condo development in Baltimore at the moment.
