Silo Point, formerly known as the Baltimore and Ohio Locust Point Grain Terminal Elevator, is a residential complex converted from a high-rise grain elevator on the edge of the Locust Point neighborhood in Baltimore, Maryland. When the original grain elevator was opened in September 1924, it was the largest and fastest in the world. The condominium now rises to 300 feet (91 meters). The original 206 foot tall grain elevator was built by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in 1923–1924, with a capacity of 3.8 million bushels (134 thousand m3).[4] Between 2004 and 2009 the structure was converted from a grain elevator to a condominium tower containing 24 floors and 228 condominiums by Turner Development Group and architect Parameter, Inc.[5][6]
Silo Point Condominiums consist of 228 Bins (or Condos). There are forty-six condominiums constructed in the Sky Tower, the old Workhouse Tower. The Parking Garage (the West Wrap) and lower portion of the Workhouse (the East Wrap) are “wrapped” by 155 glass-clad one-story condominiums. Twenty-seven two and three-story Sky Towns with courtyards are on the garage roof, the Tenth Floor Silo Terrace. The finished complex included five commercial spaces; a fitness center; a game room; a two-level Sky Lounge, management and maintenance spaces, and a lobby soaring twenty-five feet high. The original Silo Point project also included the two adjacent townhome communities, Key Overlook (53 townhomes opened in 2014) and McHenry Pointe (121 townhomes opened in 2005).
