Downtown Baltimore office tower hits auction block in foreclosure

Another downtown office landmark — an office tower built as part of the city’s Charles Center renaissance in the 1960s — is heading to the auction block. The 28-story Class A tower at 201 N. Charles St. will be sold in foreclosure on the front steps of the Clarence M. Mitchell III Courthouse on June 29 at 11 a.m. The 303,841-square-foot tower has been a mainstay downtown since it first opened in 1968 and has several law offices as tenants with ground-floor retail. Last year, law firm Silverman, Thompson, Slutkin & White moved from the tower into 400 E. Pratt St. near the waterfront, where its name now adorns the building.
