Hollins Plaza

Welcome to the Hollins Plaza, home of Hollins Market, Baltimore’s newest food market and entertainment destination. For over 180 years, Hollins Market has served the community as a central hub, connecting neighbors, families, and visitors. Hollins Market Kitchen, will be a space to develop businesses in the food industry by offering culinary professionals access to a fully equipped and licensed commercial kitchen. Chefs will showcase a variety of cooking classes for community residents and visitors. Families and individuals will learn how to prepare healthy foods inexpensively. While Hollins Hall will offer a sophisticated space for meetings and special events. A renovated underutilized 26,520 sq.ft. public market using LEED sustainable strategies, historic essentials, and twenty-one newly renovated affordable townhomes together will become a shining star in the Southwest Baltimore community. The outcome is a financially feasible project that addresses the community, the environment, and creates a cherished urban space that will serve generations to come. True community revitalization begins with strengthening the social fabric of a neighborhood, and Hollins Market is that catalyst.
