Locals Expect Big Boost from Belair Edison Crossing Renovation

BALTIMORE, MD-Local officials and residents alike are pinning their hopes for economic revitalization of a northeast neighborhood on the $6-million to $10-million redevelopment of the Belair Edison Crossing retail center. B. Green & Co. Inc. and Black Oak Associates have partnered to redevelop the 16-acre property, which is currently home to a 50,000-sf Food Depot owned by B. Green, and will add a 35,000-sf B. Green wholesale store.

“We like the economic opportunities this project presents,” B. Green principal Benjy Green says. “With such a great location at the gateway to a strong and viable community, we hope to attract major retailers who are looking for a stronger regional presence in this market, and offer the quality, convenience, and affordability that will make Belair Edison Crossing a success.” KLNB is on board to handle the leasing activity, although a decision has not been made on what types of retailers will inhabit the center’s remaining space. The project is expected to reach completion this May.
