Developer closes on Harbor tower site
Proposed structure would become city's tallest, include luxury condos, hotel

A Philadelphia developer planning to build what could become Baltimore's tallest skyscraper closed today on one of the last undeveloped parcels along the Inner Harbor, site of the proposed $300 million tower of luxury condominiums and a boutique hotel atop street levels shops.
Developer ARC Wheeler finalized the purchase of the 2-acre site, once home to McCormick & Co. spice plant and now a parking lot, from seller Central Parking Corp., said attorney Jonµ Laria, whose firm Ballard Spahr represents the developer on the project.
Laria declined to reveal the purchase price.
Baltimore's design panel in February approved the concept of a glass skyscraper that would rise 59 stories and 717 feet on Light Street between the Hyatt Regency and Intercontinental Harbor Court Hotel.
The developer, a joint venture of Clifton, N.J.-based ARC Properties and Philadelphia-based Wheeler Brothers Holdings, had hoped to close on the property last spring and start construction over the summer on the project, tentatively dubbed 10 Inner Harbor. The building had been slated for completion by 2009. Laria said today that the company now expects to begin site work the middle of next year for completion in 2010.
"We really want to communicate to everybody that ARC Wheeler has tremendous faith in Baltimore and the market, and we would not have closed on the site if we didn't believe that we could build a first-rate signature project on what is, we think, the best site in Baltimore," Laria said.
Since ARC Wheeler announced its plans, other developers have unveiled proposals for mixed-use buildings that could rival the 10 Inner Harbor project in height. Potomac developer Richard W. Naing proposes a 60-story condo and apartment high-rises in the Guilford Avenue corridor downtown, and a second 60-story tower on Saratoga Street. And in Westport, Baltimore developer Patrick Turner envisions creating a second downtown along the shores of the Middle Branch, where he hopes to develop a $1.4 billion community with 2,000 homes, shops, offices and a hotel anchored by a 65-story skyscraper.
