Current Vision

Taking into consideration the goals and needs of the city for the area, the demographics, the potential of the transit-oriented development zone, the designation as an arts and entertainment district, and the current zoning allowance TC Midtown envisions an international new ‘epicenter’ for attracting people of all backgrounds and ethnicities to come to this new center to enjoy robust world-class international dining experiences as well as a multi-media venue for watching, outside soccer games, football, baseball and hockey and the Olympics on several large multi-media screens making this visual epicenter the ‘place’ to be in central Baltimore. This new venue will focus on the arts and streetscape designs that will invite and encourage pedestrian interaction and enjoyment. The rooftop amenity restaurants and green spaces will enjoy a view of the Inner Harbor and beyond.

The raised double level landscaped intersection ‘platform’ for viewing and socializing will be unlike any other place in Baltimore and will be the ‘heartbeat’ of the city as to media, arts and the ‘fusion’ of all cultures and backgrounds. It will have a New York city Times Square ‘vibe’ and attract all walks of people to be seen and enjoy the actions of the world on the large screens in various languages.



A unique place unlike any other city in the USA.
