“We prioritized listening to the community to hear what they wanted and married it to what could actually be built. I’m so proud to share these plans with all of Baltimore because we deserve an internationally renowned waterfront that belongs to all of us.”

Harborplace

Harborplace, located at the prominent intersection of Pratt and Light Streets in Baltimore, is set to be transformed by The Park at Freedom’s Port and The Wildset 301 Light Street. The park will serve as a major green gateway to the waterfront, flowing seamlessly into The Wildset.

Inspired by Maryland’s shipbuilding heritage, The Wildset’s design incorporates materials and forms reminiscent of an oyster wildset, celebrating the region’s coastal seafood. Its organic shapes cascade down to the adjacent park, creating a smooth transition for visitors. At the water’s edge, a cascading amphitheater offers a stunning waterfront view and doubles as a stage for live performances.

In its entirety, Harborplace is both a local and international collaboration between the city, the community, the developers, designers, planners, and engineers.

Unlike the original Harborplace, The Wildset and The Park will facilitate access to the waterfront from Light Street and promote connectivity to the city.
The organic forms of The Wildset create a hub of maker spaces and vibrant street-level activity, bringing energy and engagement to the area.
