    The Dorothy J

    Project: The Dorothy J
    Client: Commercial Development

    Located in the Central Forest Neighborhood in northeast Baltimore City, The Dorothy J Apartments is the renovation of a 3-story, 44,000 square foot apartment building. Built in 1962, the existing building consisted of 44 residential units but fell victim to a fire in early 2006, leaving only the shell intact. JP2’s design modernizes the unit layouts to include updated open kitchen plans, a second bathroom in 2 bedroom units, and laundry facilities within the units.
