SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT  

One Light is a 780, 000 SF, 28 story mixed-use tower combining offices for the regional headquarters of M & T Bank, market rate office, 280 apartments, ground-level retail, and parking. The site is located on Light Street in Baltimore’s historic central business district. One Light’s blend of uses and environmental improvements create activity and provide new life to an under-utilized site, playing an important role in the revitalization efforts north of Pratt Street. Building floors are arranged and tailored to serve their particular use. Entrances and parking are located in the lower levels, offices occupy the mid-section, and apartments and amenity spaces are located at the top of the building to take advantage of the spectacular views. Sloping site conditions were resolved by a folded ground floor plane with entrances at varying elevations. The crisply detailed exterior is defined by two sculpted forms. The sloping profile of the taller form gives the building its unique signature and acknowledges the historic tower to the west. The lower form is stitched to its surface and carved away to form a terrace at the18th floor, marking the transition from office to residential use.
