"From 414 Water Street, the first condominiums under way in the central business district, to the Ritz Carlton Residences, where buyers are spending $1 million and up for Inner Harbor housing with a spa, concierge and valet parking, downtown Baltimore is in the midst of its biggest wave of condo development.
