A variety of new historic housing developments show promise in bringing evening street life back to downtown Baltimore.
"Some similar projects are in the works in Wilmington's central business district, also known to go dark after 5 p.m., and improving the city's night life is the aim. Right now, most of the city's young professionals live in Trolley Square, about a mile from downtown. Last month, the vacant Delaware Trust Building was purchased by local developer Buccini-Polin Group, which plans to renovate the building into 270 apartments. Buccini-Polin also redeveloped the Nemours Building at 11th and Orange Streets into 85 furnished apartments, most of which are being rented to local companies."
