Landmark Partners’ ‘Guardian House’ project to revitalize long-neglected block in downtown Baltimore Landmark Partners was selected as part of an RFP process in early 2018 to redevelop the three adjoining properties of 17-23 South Gay St. into a mixed-use residential and retail complex for the property which has gone vacant since the mid-1990s. (File photo) Landmark Partners and its lead contractor, Bozzuto, will host a groundbreaking ceremony Sept. 7 at 10 a.m. to launch the construction of the “Guardian House” at 17-23 South Gay St. Expected to join the kickoff announcement are Baltimore Police Commissioner Michael Harrison, Councilman Eric Costello, Baltimore Development Corporate CEO Colin Tarbert, representatives of Downtown Partnership and other special guests. Landmark Partners was selected as part of an RFP process in early 2018 by the Baltimore Development Corporation to acquire and redevelop the three adjoining properties into a mixed-use residential and retail complex for the property which has gone vacant since the mid-1990s. The project will include approximately 66 residential units and 10,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space that will provide amenities for tenants and the nearby business community. Twenty percent of the residential units with reduced rents will be designated primarily for Baltimore’s first responders – men and women officers of the Baltimore Police Department and Baltimore Fire Department – earning no more than 80% of Baltimore Area Median Income (AMI).
