Operating since 2010, East Frederick Rising is a nonprofit dedicated championing for the well-being and vitality of residents, businesses and organizations invested in the current and future success of the east side of The City of Frederick. Here we share information to just four City of Frederick initiatives that fall within the geographical scope of East Frederick Rising and were highlighted as opportunities for the organization’s continued strategic input and/or advocacy.
Our Frederick community has a long and proud tradition of military service. Drawn in part by Fort Detrick and our close proximity to the nation's capital, Frederick County is currently home to more than 16,000 veterans and their families.
Here we take a look at two exciting projects that are helping honor these men and women's service to our country and supporting their successful transition to civilian life.
St. John Properties is currently spearheading two major projects that are transforming Frederick’s east side and bringing new jobs & industry to the region. Below we take a quick look at these projects and hear from St. John Properties’ Regional Partner, Matt Holbrook, on the vision behind these game-changing developments.
Earlier this month, our team had the opportunity to tour Matan’s most recent project—Progress Labs at Riverside 1. Developed to meet the rising real estate demand from the life sciences industry, the project will deliver 215,000 SF of biomanufacturing-ready space in summer 2022 and is currently being marketed to prospective tenants.
Earlier this week, Governor Larry Hogan announced the awardees from the Fiscal Year 2021 application round for state revitalization programs administered by the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development. Among the grants announced are two awards — totaling to $225,000— for projects sponsored by The City of Frederick.
The impressive 81,446 SF adaptive reuse project at 400 East Church is transforming the existing warehouse into over 83 loft-style apartments across three floors. When completed, the apartment building will provide new, centrally-located workforce housing to the Frederick community. Check out photos of the progress here.
