Rye Street Market, strategically situated in the central town square of Baltimore Peninsula, provides the perfect backdrop for these new establishments. Its convenient location near I-95, coupled with attractive amenities like a shared rooftop and a state-of-the-art fitness center, makes it an easily accessible and desirable destination. The anticipation is also building for the upcoming openings of Slutty Vegan and Bar Vegan at Rye Street Market in Q4 2024, further solidifying its position as a dynamic hub for dining and entertainment.
Baltimore Peninsula’s strong leasing momentum continues, following a December announcement of 15 new deals encompassing 65,000 square feet of retail and office space, welcoming names like the Baltimore Ravens and Jersey Mike’s.
