The Urban Land Institute (ULI) Baltimore has recognized the RTKL-designed Hilton Baltimore with one of its WaveMaker Awards, presented to local developments that contribute to the community through unique, innovative, and visionary urban planning and design. The hotel was among six projects recognized for their demonstrated respect of the surrounding neighborhood and geography with a strong sense of place, sustainability, and visionary approach.
“The Hilton Baltimore’s master plan integrates two blocks of urban fabric that stood as parking lots for over 20 years,” says Dan Freed, RTKL principal and lead designer. “It creates active pedestrian connections to other important downtown destinations. The outward facing nature of the design not only makes the development more engaging, but it also makes a strong statement about Baltimore’s modernization and growth.”
