Building in Baltimore

Baltimore’s story has always been one of industry, grit, and ingenuity. Today, that story is being reimagined at Machine Works, a dedicated hub where production meets possibility. As part of the $200M revitalization of Johnston Square, located off I-83 near Station North and Amtrak’s Penn Station, we are honoring the city's industrial heritage while shaping its creative future.
