MCB Real Estate has completed vertical construction and named “The Enolia,” a 151-unit, 473-bed off-campus housing project near Morgan State University in Baltimore.
With support from the Hamilton-Lauraville Main Street and Morgan State University, MCB is transforming a 3.4 acre vacant parcel into a 151-unit, purpose-built housing development. Located in Baltimore, MD, the project commenced construction in May 2023, with an anticipated completion date of July 2025.
The building has been designed to provide off-campus housing for students at Morgan State University and features first in class amenities such as a fitness center, movement lab, game room, and study and collaboration spaces. A spacious outdoor courtyard will provide areas for relaxation and recreation.
The building offers sustainable design features including energy efficient systems, native plantings and innovative stormwater management. Shuttle service to Morgan as well as a new bike path and secure indoor bike parking will provide students with a low-impact way to travel back and forth to campus.
“Enolia McMillan’s name carries an enormous amount of respect not just in Baltimore, but as one of America’s most revered civil rights trailblazers,” says MCB managing partner and co-founder P. David Bramble. “Given her tremendous work in advocating and progressing Morgan’s status as a premier learning institution, it’s only fitting that her name be associated with a project that will help alleviate the housing shortage that has become a significant barrier to the university’s growth.” Financing partners include WesBanco and the Wells Fargo Foundation.
