As many as 485 new luxury apartments are being planned for two blocks of Baltimore's Brewers Hill neighborhood, the mixed-use redevelopment of two shuttered breweries. A Houston-based apartment developer has a site south of O'Donnell Street under contract and plans two four-to-five story residential buildings that would include street-level shops and parking. The plan is scaled back from a much larger residential component envisioned when city planners approved development in Brewers Hill about five years ago. The developer, the Hanover Co., also is building Brewers Hill's first new housing component, a 180-unit apartment complex on the west side of South Conkling Street that is scheduled for completion in about a year.
