Baltimore keeps polishing its Charm City badge. The Fort McHenry shipping channel was back online barely 11 weeks after the Key Bridge collapse, restoring full port flow and confidence months ahead of projections. These days, South Baltimore’s 235‑acre Peninsula is humming: Under Armour’s net‑zero, mass‑timber HQ campus and 24,000‑square‑foot brand house opened in late 2024. Downtown, voters green‑lit a $900‑million, Gensler‑designed Harborplace redo, and ground is being prepped for four mixed‑use towers. The city’s industry capacity is also expanding with Tradepoint Atlantic’s TiL container terminal boosting port capacity by 70% and creating 8,000 jobs, while $100 million in state funds pushes the revived Red Line light rail toward a 2028 debut. Even with all that buzz, the early 2025 median list price sat at just $242,000—around 40% below the national median. Tourism is surging as well: 27.5 million visitors explored Baltimore in 2023 and 55 conventions pumped $115.7 million into the local economy. The Greater Baltimore Committee is proactively pursuing business investment, capital, talent and innovation with its “Bold Moves” brand, tool kit and $4.4‑billion investment scorecard showcasing coveted assets like its universities (ranked #5 in the U.S.) and educated workforce (#16).
