I just found this article, dated Jan. 10, 2016:

Kevin Plank’s real estate team unveiled their plans for Port Covington in South Baltimore a couple weeks ago. The 266-acre location would be converted into a modern mixed-use development, including the new Under Armour headquarters along with other offices, residential, retail, restaurants, hotels, entertainment, parks and promenades. New mass transit connections would be added (possibly light rail and bus) and four bikeshare stations.
Their team does not own all of the land in that area, but they own a lot of it.
I’m not familiar with Port Covington. Online commenters say that it’s an “industrial wasteland” while others say that it was remediated but it remains an unpleasant location to bike, run or walk. From what I’ve read, it seems like a good idea. It would bring economic development to Baltimore, open up more waterfront areas for public use and expand light rail and promote bikeshare.
Is anyone here familiar with Port Covington, or with any updates on Baltimore bikeshare plans?
