Located at the intersection of Light and Conway streets in Downtown Baltimore, 414 Light Street was built on the original site of the McCormick & Company. The 1921 industrial complex was a fond memory of many Baltimoreans for the spice aromas that wafted down to the streets below. [2] The McCormick building was razed in 1988 after the company had left the city for Hunt Valley. [3] The demolition of the original factory was heartily fought by preservationists, but The Rouse Company, developers of Columbia and Harborplace, won in the Maryland Court of Appeals. [4] The Rouse Company's plans for a replacement structure never came to fruition, leaving the property as a vacant parking lot.
After 25 years as a parking lot, construction began on 414 Light Street in 2014. Designed by Chicago architecture firm Solomon Cordwell Buenz, the building has a contemporary style. The project is notable for being Baltimore's tallest apartment building, and third tallest skyscraper after the 1929 Bank of America Building. [5] Construction finished at the end of 2018. [6]
The building is home to 394 apartments as well as retail on the ground floor. [1] The apartments are considered luxury-style from $1,800, and penthouse rentals at more than $8,000 a month per unit. [7]

Charles Center is a large-scale urban redevelopment project in central Baltimore's downtown business district of the late 1950s and early 1960s. Beginning in 1954, a group called the "Committee for Downtown" promoted a master plan for arresting the commercial decline of central Baltimore. In 1955, the "Greater Baltimore Committee", headed by banker and developer James W. Rouse, joined the effort. A plan was developed by noted American urban planner and architect David A. Wallace, (1917−2004), strongly supported by Mayors Thomas L. J. D'Alesandro, Jr. (1947−1959) and Theodore R. McKeldin, and many in their administrations, which formed the basis of a $25 million bond issue voted on by the citizens of Baltimore City during the municipal elections in November 1958. The architects' view of the overall Charles Center Redevelopment Plan with the conceptions of possible buildings, lay-out and plan that was publicized to the voters that spring and summer before, only slightly resembles the actual buildings and designs that later were really constructed by the mid-1970s.
