Downtown Baltimore Awardees
Lord Baltimore Hotel
The Lord Baltimore Hotel, headed by General Manage Onahlea Shimunek, has been chosen to receive the 2022 Downtown Innovation Award in recognition of its transformative approach to business that has helped them weather the lasting impacts of the covid 19 pandemic, saved local jobs, and created transformative public and private partnerships. This historic hotel is more than a place to rest your head, it’s become a beacon for community in Downtown.
LIVEbe (2 Hopkins Plaza)
LIVEbe has been chosen to receive the 2022 Downtown Baltimore Clean & Green Award in recognition of its efforts to go above and beyond in the maintenance of 2 Hopkins Plaza. The company’s commitment to making Downtown Baltimore cleaner and safer makes a noticeable difference in the streetscape surrounding the property, with new trees, improved sidewalks, and the addition of public art.
Lexington Market
The team behind the transformation of the Lexington Market is the 2022 Downtown President’s Award winner. Lexington Market Corporation has led the charge with the development of the new shed while honoring the traditions of the incomparable and historic Lexington Market. Their selection of Seawall to lead development catapulted the project as they have been a committed and driving partner, helping to deliver the world-class market we know Lexington Market can be. The team’s commitment to community outreach and equitable retail attraction, led by Pickett Slater Harrington, is on its way to opening this fall with more than 50% minority-owned and women-owned businesses, representing Baltimore City in a way that we can all be truly proud of.
Ed Brake, Ellin & Tucker
The Revitalization Award highlights a stakeholder that is heavily contributing to the future success of Downtown Baltimore. The commitment that Ellin & Tucker have shown Downtown Baltimore for 70 years is still going strong. CEO Ed Brake and his team believe in investing outside of their four walls. In just the past year, they have invested in safety improvements in and around 400 E. Pratt Street block and been a fierce supporter of events and promotions, including the Baltimore by Baltimore series.
