Marc Weller is taking his lessons learned at Port Covington to other large-scale projects across the United States — resorts, public green spaces, event venues and even a winery. His company, Weller Development, was replaced on Monday as head of the 235-acre South Baltimore project by a new team of master developers and investors with New York-based MAG Partners and San Francisco-based MacFarlane Partners. They abruptly took over the $5.5 billion development at the behest of Port Covington’s two major investors — Under Armour founder Kevin Plank and the Goldman Sachs Urban Investment Group — and are focused on marketing and leasing. So far, no office or retail leases have been signed at the project.

After launching amid the pandemic, 1501 Health unveiled its incubator space to the public on Tuesday, showcasing an office designed to support startups developing new medical technologies. The roughly 10,000-square-foot office at 1501 S. Clinton St. comes equipped with model clinics, where clinicians and founders can work together to figure out how technology can be integrated into patient care. The equipment can also help startups understand how data can be used within a digital medical records system, so providers are not burdened with a separate data source that requires more work to review, said Pothik Chatterjee, assistant vice president of innovation and research at LifeBridge Health.

The B&O Railroad Museum announced its farmer’s market will return this Thursday for its third year.

The market’s manager, Merritt Dworkin, plans to bring variety of new and familiar vendors to the weekly event, the museum said. It will be a one-stop shop for “fresh local produce, flowers, crafts, and a variety of food and desserts.”

Sugarloaf Business Center, a two-building complex in the hot Frederick County industrial market, has sold for $6.2 million. Adams-Aumiller Properties acquired the flex facility at 9639 Doctor Perry Road from RDV Investments LLC. Edge Capital Markets broker Joshua Norwitz represented the seller.

The fundraising campaign for the addition raised more than $50 million. The change in public health needs caused by the Covid-19 pandemic also impacted the design of the building, with more isolation rooms added to the design to care for patients with infectious diseases. “We’ve realized that we have to have the ability to take care of patients with Covid, or whatever we’re going to face five years from now,” Cullen said.
