On one of my walks around Baltimore’s Inner Harbor area, I noticed this unusual construction. It appeared to be an apartment building of some sort. Near an entrance is a small park featuring a statue of Christopher Columbus. Truly, to me the architecture of the building is more interesting than the park. A few minutes exploring Google Maps gave me the answer as to the function of this uniquely designed building.

The Scarlett Place Condominiums is a 14-story high rise containing luxury apartments. A search on the name brought up a post describing some of the details about the units and amenities. There are 147 units with an average cost of about $280 per square foot. Units for sale that came up on the search indicated pricing from about $350,000 to just under a million dollars.  The condo fee is probably pretty high given the amenities include an indoor pool, fitness center, garages, and even a concierge. No, I’m not interested in moving to Maryland. I just found the architecture of this building which appears from the ads I saw to have been constructed in 1988. As you can see, some of the units have outdoor terraces of some considerable size.
