It's readers' turn to share their thoughts for new developments in North Baltimore.
Three major planned North Baltimore developments, long on hold, have taken major steps toward becoming reality. Johns Hopkins University announced a development team for the long vacant lot at 33rd and St. Paul streets into a mixed-use building, the redevelopment of the Rotunda is on track to begin this spring and 25th Street Station has cleared legal challenges regarding its planned unit development. Another significant redevelopment of a former tire shop in Remington into a theater, restaurant and office space is also set to begin in March.

The building that was home to James and Lynn’s Tire Service will be renovated to host a theater, restaurant and nonprofit office space.
Sewall Development Corporation is set to begin in March the $3.5 million transformation of a former Remington tire shop into a mixed use building housing a theater, restaurant and nonprofit offices.

In March, Donald Manekin, of Seawall, told Patch that rehabbing homes near the companies Miller’s Court rehabilitation project was a logical next step for the company. "We have an opportunity to create a community of homes, and not a one-off house," Manekin said at the time.

Housing Commissioner Paul Graziano still has to officially sign off on the decision.
A Baltimore City panel has selected Seawall Development Corporation to rehabilitate nine city owned homes in the 2800 block of Remington Avenue. A spokeswoman for Baltimore Housing said she wasn’t sure if Commissioner Paul Graziano had officially signed off on the decision yet, but confirmed Seawall’s selection. The city announced it was looking for developers to rehab the homes in late December, and set a February deadline for responding to the request for proposals for the properties.
