Zahlco Development started construction in recent weeks on a 54-unit apartment building at 719-725 W. Pratt St. in Ridgely’s Delight. The $12-million project incorporates several existing buildings along with a vacant lot that Zahlco is purchasing from the University of Maryland, Baltimore and University of Maryland Medical Center. The properties have been vacant for more than 20 years.
The project received approvals from Baltimore’s Commission for Historical and Architectural Preservation (CHAP) in 2018.
Currently at the site, moving east to west, is a two-story building, a one-story building, a four-story historic building, and a vacant lot. Zahlco will keep the brick facade of the one- and two-story buildings, renovate the four-story brick building, and build a five-story apartment building surrounding the four-story building.
