We’re proud to be part of the continued transformation of the Upton community here in Baltimore.

In partnership with Harrison Development and aligned with the Upton Planning Committee’s vision for “The Upton of tomorrow,” we’re helping move forward Phase 3, The Division Street Project.

Through strategic financing as part of the Baltimore Vacant Reinvestment Initiative (BVRI), this effort will bring nine vacant properties back to life as new homeownership opportunities for residents.

We were honored to attend the first ribbon cutting alongside Watchen Bruce , BCL Senior Loan Officer Tracy Evans, Secretary Jake Day and Assistant Commissioner Wendi Redfern-Curtis to celebrate this milestone.

This is what it looks like when partnership, vision, and investment come together to create real, lasting change.
