Hard Hat Tour - The Hammond, Johnston Square
2025-07-10 17:30 - 19:00
Register to get a sneak peak at Baltimore’s newest multi-family housing development and Pratt Library location!
The Hammond at Greenmount Park is 109 units of new affordable rental housing currently under construction in the Johnston Square neighborhood of Baltimore. The project is a joint venture development of Somerset Development Company, New Community Partners, and ReBUILD Metro, Inc.
The Hammond is the first of three multifamily buildings that the Somerset team is developing in partnership with the community as outlined in the Johnston Square Vision Plan. The community-led, Baltimore City-approved Johnston Square Vision Plan guides a multi-decade, multi-hundred million dollar inclusive redevelopment effort in Johnston Square that rebuilds the neighborhood while protecting legacy residents.
Designed by Quinn Evans Architects and built by Harkins Builders, the four-story building will have an impressive array of amenities including community meeting space, a fitness center, bicycle storage and rooftop gardening. Of particular note, through an innovative public private partnership with the City of Baltimore, the Project will include a new branch of the Enoch Pratt Free Library on the ground floor of the building, opening out onto the new public park being developed along Biddle Street by ReBUILD Metro and the community.
The Project’s all-electric design will achieve the Department of Energy’s Zero Energy Ready Home standard and the National Green Building Standard Silver designation. The Project also features a 150kW photovoltaic solar array.
Construction began in June 2024 and is anticipated to finish in August 2025.
Please plan to bring your own hard hat for this construction tour. If you do not have one, a limited number will be available to borrow.
