Small projects on downtown Baltimore’s west side spark revitalization

Lexington Lofts apartments could fit easily into one of downtown Baltimore’s trendier areas. Units come with soaring ceilings and windows, granite finishes, free Wi-Fi and Under Armour gym memberships. The glass-front building with sleek professional offices on the street level sits about a mile from the Inner Harbor. But the renovated six-story building occupies a block in downtown’s west side, where anticipated redevelopment has met with false starts for decades.
