On Tuesday, we asked: Is this the start of a commercial real estate firesale in crime-ridden Baltimore City?
And to our surprise, it appears so.
Let’s begin with our report on Tuesday when The Baltimore Sun revealed a 30-story office tower at One South Street in downtown Baltimore that was sold in June for $24 million, a 63.6% discount versus the tower’s 2015 sale of $66 million. This was the first sale of its kind in the post-pandemic era.
