Gotham Greens Expands to Tradepoint Atlantic
The initial phase of the facility will occupy over 100,000 square feet in the northern part of the logistics center.
BALTIMORE–Gotham Greens, an agtech startup and local produce brand, will open a hydroponic greenhouse at Tradepoint Atlantic. The initial phase of the new greenhouse facility, which is scheduled to open in early 2019, will occupy over 100,000 square feet in the northern part of the 3,100-acre multimodal global logistics center.
Gotham Greens says that its flagship greenhouse, built in Brooklyn, NY in 2011, was the first commercial scale urban greenhouse facility of its kind in the US. After opening additional locations in New York, the company expanded to Chicago in 2015 by building what it says is the world’s largest rooftop farm. When the new Baltimore facility opens, Gotham Greens will own and operate 500,000 square-feet of greenhouses across eight facilities in five states.
Gotham Greens’ Baltimore facility will create over 60 full-time jobs and will be powered by 100% renewable electricity and recycled irrigation water.
