Southern Management Launches Modernization of Charles Plaza in Downtown Baltimore
Southern Management Companies has launched a multi-year modernization of Charles Plaza, one of the largest residential and mixed-use complexes in downtown Baltimore.
Working with Baltimore-based WorkShop Development, the company plans to upgrade the property’s retail, office space and public areas, as well as the three apartment buildings, in phases over the coming years. As part of the effort, Southern Management has retained MacKenzie Commercial to lead retail leasing and repositioning. The first phase, a $1 million upgrade to the complex’s facade, signage and outdoor amenities, is scheduled for completion in early 2027.
Charles Plaza occupies a prominent position in the heart of downtown, with 857 apartments as well as retail, office and parking facilities. The project is being undertaken with support from the Downtown Partnership of Baltimore, and the team includes BCT Architects, which is leading the design. and JC Porter Construction, which is serving as general contractor.
