Executive Summary
The Charles Fish & Sons Building
The Charles Fish & Sons Building presents the opportunity to acquire one of Downtown Baltimore's most recognizable historic commercial buildings. Situated prominently at the corner of North Eutaw and Franklin Streets, the 12,180-square-foot property is well suited for adaptive reuse, owner occupancy, or continued commercial use.
Originally constructed in 1881 as the home of the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, the world's first dental school, the building later became the iconic Charles Fish & Sons department store. Today, its preserved black marble storefront, expansive floor plates, 13- to 18-foot ceiling heights, and dramatic 13-foot-tall window openings provide the architectural character sought by today's developers and owner-users.
The building is currently configured as six commercial suites, including four office suites and a restaurant occupying two connected first-floor suites with direct access to a large walk-in basement. Existing infrastructure includes a passenger elevator, sprinkler and fire alarm systems, individually controlled HVAC systems, a 1,200-amp electrical service with nine separately metered 200-amp commercial suites, and commercial kitchen infrastructure with an Ansul suppression system.
Located two blocks from Lexington Market and within walking distance of the University of Maryland Medical Center, BioPark, and Baltimore's Central Business District, 429 North Eutaw benefits from Metro Subway, Light Rail, MARC commuter rail, I-83, and I-95 access. Flexible C-5DC zoning permits multifamily, mixed-use, and commercial uses by right with no dwelling unit caps, off-street parking requirements, or setback requirements. The property is also located within Baltimore City's Enterprise Zone, where qualifying projects may be eligible for redevelopment incentives, subject to applicable program requirements.
