I would be very open to recommendations on which neighborhoods to check out and where to look for future projects.

The “sail” is part of the Harbor Place development. The zoning referendum goes into vote in November so they can build the sail, a 11 story office building and a twin 32 + 25 story apartment buildings in the old pavilion foot prints.
The RedLine is going through final voting phases on type/route and will give the city E-W mass transit (99% it will be semi-grade separated LRT)
Port Covington is 1.5 miles south and is essentially going to become the cities secondary CBD (if you don’t count Harbor East/Point. Not lively atm due to it being 24/7 constitution zone right now but there’s like 15-20 establishments and ~1500 housing units are opening between now and end of 2025. When it’s all said and done it will be like ~14 million sq/ft.
Harbor Point is finishing up phase 3/4. Final phase has a 500/400/300’ triplet set of mixed use skyscrapers that are set to break ground late next year. These are to the immediate east of the Inner Harbor/Aquarium/etc..
Perkins square is to the immediate east of Little Italy and is complete mixed use-redo of former housing projects. Nothing glitzy but very much needed to make the greater downtown area cohesive, safe and walkable.
Howard Street cooridor is on the west side of greater down and has several hundred millions dollars of investment pouring in (refurbishes vs. new construction). Has the potential to be downtown premier nightlife area if done right.
Penn Station 1.5 miles north of DT and the immediate area around the station has a slew of projects approved/prepped for ground breaking.
Harbor East/Point, Hampden, Mt. Vernon, Charles Village, Federal Hill, Canton, Greektown, Remington & Fells Point are neighborhoods that I recommend people to go to. Downtown/Inner Harbor is if anything, one of the cities weaker areas.
