State Awards Remington Mixed-Used Development $100K

Sewall Development Corporation's $3.8 million restoration of a former used tire shop in Remington has been awarded a $100,000 state grant.

The Maryland Department of Business and Economic Development awarded the grant through its Brownfield Revitalization Incentive Program, according to a news release. The building, located at 2600 N. Howard St., will be the new home of the Single Carrot Theater, a butcher shop and restaurant by Chef Spike Gjerde and office space for nonprofits.

"Investing in communities like Remington is a sustainable and effective way to revitalize Maryland’s historic neighborhoods and support the arts that enrich Maryland’s culture," said Gov. Martin O’Malley said in the news release. "The redevelopment of 2600 North Howard will create jobs, serve as an anchor for future revitalization and development in Remington, and expand the thriving Station North Arts & Entertainment District."

Seawall began the redevelopment of the former James and Lynn’s Tire Service building in March and the goal is to complete the project by March.

"The thing I think we’ve really focused on is development for need—not just to develop to develop," Evan Morville of Seawall said at the time.

Seawall Development has already redeveloped the former H.F. Miller Tin Box and Can Manufacturing building across the street from the current development into the Miller’s Court project.

The Remington neighborhood was listed earlier this year by Zillow as one of the hottest neighborhoods in the city, because housing values are expected to go up by 3.3 percent in the next year.
