The first block of 16 townhomes have been completed by Ryan Homes at the One Westport development in South Baltimore. The 43-acre development by Ray Jackson’s Stonewall Capital takes place on a waterfront parcel on the Middle Branch where a redevelopment was first planned in 2004.
Ryan Homes is building 205 townhomes in this first phase of the development taking place on Parcel B. Another builder will construct 51 homes on the western border of Parcel B facing the newly-rebuilt and realigned Kloman St.
Ryan Homes has already sold 23 homes in the first two months of sales. The homes for sale come in a 16 ft.-wide, three-story option; a 16 ft.-wide, four-story option; a 20 ft.-wide, four-story option; and a 20 ft.-wide, four-story waterfront option.
All the homes have at least three bedrooms. The three-story homes have bedrooms on the first and third floors, and the four-story homes have customizable bonus spaces on the first floor and the fourth floor with bedrooms on the third floor. The four-story homes have also have a terrace off the fourth floor.
Homes range in price from $359,000 to $750,000.
Additional blocks of homes are set to begin construction soon.
SEH Excavating Contractors is the site development contractor for Parcel B. It was also be responsible for the relocation of Kloman St.
Parcel B will have a pocket park, green spaces, and a path system throughout the neighborhood and along the waterfront.
Jackson said he is “extremely happy” with the progress at One Westport. Jackson purchased the land in 2020 and site work began at the development in 2024.
Ryan Homes will build approximately 300 additional homes in a phase two on Parcels C, D, and F of the development. The parcels were originally slated for multiple apartments buildings and an office building and retail spaces.
In between Parcel B and C will be Westport Waterfront Community Park. The park is a partnership between Stonewall Capital, the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD), the South Baltimore Gateway Partnership (SBGP), and private fundraising.
On the park, Jackson said, “Work has already started as we have tied the grades in for the walking trails adjacent to Parcel B. The majority of the park work will start later this year as we are bidding parts of it out now.”
Parcel A will be an affordable housing complex by Sight Insight and the NHP Foundation.
