Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott recently attended the grand opening of The Hammond at Greenmount Park, a transformational project that turned an entire block of vacant lots into a new four-story building containing 109 affordable apartments and a new branch of the Enoch Pratt Free Library.

The Hammond at Greenmount Park was spearheaded by a redevelopment partnership comprised of Somerset Development Company, New Community Partners, and ReBUILD Metro. Its 109 one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments will offer affordable rental housing. The new library, which occupies 9,000 square feet on the building’s ground floor, is the result of a public-private partnership between a real estate development team, a community, and a public library system.

The project was financed by a number of partners, including Capital One, Boston Financial, Chase Bank, the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation, the Robert W. Deutsch Foundation, the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development, the Baltimore Department of Housing and Community Development, and the Baltimore Mayor’s Office of Recovery Programs.
