Transformation

The Vision

Baltimore-based real estate companies Cross Street Partners and City Life Historic Properties are partnering with Strong City Baltimore to undertake the 85,000 square foot historic preservation of the Hoen Lithograph building. This architectural treasure, which has sat vacant for 35 years, is being repurposed as a vibrant mixed-use complex that provides job opportunities, job training, and neighborhood amenities called the Center for Neighborhood Innovation.

 

When complete, The Center for Neighborhood Innovation (CNI), a new model for neighborhood transformation, will convene an interdisciplinary group of social entrepreneurs, non-profits, service providers, researchers, and community members committed to solving the issues facing our most distressed under-resourced neighborhoods and provide with the space and support they need to affect positive community change. Unlike traditional project-based initiatives that focus on a single issue, place-based efforts such as CNI address the multiple issues presented by a single geographic area. The interdisciplinary group will help students and residents move step-by-step along the continuum from schooling to job training to career building.

 

Hoen Lithograph is expected to catalyze revitalization activity in the surrounding neighborhood, including the creation of affordable housing, streetscape improvements, installation of public art, and community programming.
