Harbin said he could not elaborate on details of the Brewers Hill project before the proposal goes before the design panel. But a Planning Commission report shows the project would include 30,000 square feet of shops and more than 622,000 square feet of housing in 485 units.
The completed buildings at Brewers Hill are being filled with retailers and businesses, many of which are new to the city, such as MetLife, Occupational Health, Elder Health and Design Group, said C. William "Bill" Struever, chief executive officer and president of Struever Bros. Plans for a hotel in the original Gunther Brewery building are also in the works.
Struever said he expects housing demand to be spurred by growth in jobs at Brewers Hill, the nearby mixed-use development Canton Crossing and nearby at such places as the Johns Hopkins Health System's Bayview campus.
