he lower portion of Hampden, which snakes along the Jones Falls River, has been reminiscent of a ghost town over the past few decades…until now. On Wednesday I noticed signs of life at Mount Vernon Mills No. 1, located in the 3000 block of Falls Rd in Hampden. The mill building, which sits at the corner of Falls Rd and Chestnut Ave is now surrounded by scaffolding and work to the facade has begun. The development, spearheaded by Terra Nova Ventures, is expected to contain 9,500 square feet of Restaurant space, 42,000 square feet of office, and 92 residential apartments.

A friend of mine said they tried courting some Hampden restaurants to go back there.
For the past 5 years I had been leasing the smaller 2 mill buildings across the street from each other. Terranova has since purchased 1 of the 2 and is scheduled to close in the second one in the next couple I months.
The tenants consisted of live-work artists and some skille craftsman such as carpenters and welders. There is defenently a demand for artist and craftsman space in Baltimore as more and more mills get redeveloped.
