Exceptional mixed-use/multifamily opportunity in the heart of Baltimore’s historic Mount Vernon district. 523 N Charles St offers approximately 8,975 total square feet, including approximately 2,200 SF of below-grade space, providing incredible flexibility for retail, office, multifamily, live/work, creative, or redevelopment use. Positioned along one of Baltimore’s most recognizable commercial corridors, the property features strong street presence, large windows, high ceilings, multiple levels, and classic architectural character. The expansive layout offers endless possibilities for an investor, owner-user, or developer looking to reposition a landmark property in a high-visibility location. Surrounded by restaurants, nightlife, universities, cultural institutions, and major downtown employers, the property is conveniently located near Penn Station, MICA, the University of Baltimore, the Washington Monument, and downtown Baltimore. The current owners purchased the property in January 2026 for their intended business use, but ultimately determined the property was not the right fit for their operational needs, creating an excellent opportunity for the next owner to bring their vision to life. Property is being sold strictly as-is.
