This milestone marks the first phase of a sweeping transformation of the 17.3-acre Park Heights Master Redevelopment Area (MRA), designed to revitalize a historically under-invested community into a vibrant, mixed-income, multi-generational neighborhood. The master redevelopment plan includes NHPF and Henson’s 90-unit single-family home community, affordable multifamily building and new green spaces. This is expected to further support the neighborhood revitalization efforts which include the new Enoch Pratt Free Library as well as an overhaul of Pimlico Racecourse.
Distinguished guests at the ceremony included Maryland Governor Wes Moore and First Lady of Maryland Dawn Moore, Baltimore Mayor Brandon M. Scott, and First Lady of Baltimore City Hana Scott, Councilwoman Sharon Green Middleton, Housing Commissioner Alice Kennedy, Delegate Sandy Rosenberg, Senator Antonio Hayes, Park Heights Renaissance CEO Yolanda Jiggetts, and Elizabeth Tatum, Acting Director, Mayor’s Office of Recovery Programs, and Delegates Malcolm Ruff and Sean Stinnett.
“Since taking office, we’ve invested more than $75 millioninto Park Heights to create jobs, grow the economy, and open pathways to work, wages, and wealth for Baltimoreans,” said Gov. Wes Moore. “This project marks the next chapter in our work, and it will transform the city by ensuring seniors have access to affordable housing and a safe, vibrant community. When we say this is Maryland’s decade and Baltimore’s time, it’s partnerships like this one that show us what that looks like.”
Major Announcements Unveiled at the Event:
The overall master-planned community will be called Cloverbrook Green. Cloverbrook was the first horse to win the Preakness Stakes that had been bred and trained in Maryland. The community will offer an array of “green” features including solar-powered common areas and energy-efficient appliances.
90+ single-family homes with a targeted construction start of 2026.
A 59-unit affordable multifamily rental building will be named The Anderson, commemorating George “Spider” Anderson’s legacy.
A new sculpture of Anderson—one of only two African American jockeys to win the Preakness in its 150-year history—was unveiled along with other outdoor artwork created by Art with a Heart, a local organization dedicated to using art to enrich lives, bridge divides, and forge the leaders of tomorrow. George “Spider” Anderson was the first African American to win the Preakness Stakes on May 10, 1889 and May 10th, 2025, the date of the Ribbon cutting was the 136th anniversary of his win.

“You can see my family’s home from the Terraces, so this groundbreaking is especially meaningful to me,” said Baltimore Mayor Brandon M. Scott. “For many years, folks thought a project like this one, in Park Heights, was impossible. But here we are. This is the story of a neighborhood that never gave up, that stayed committed, and that came together to do the impossible. I couldn’t be prouder to be a son of Park Heights—especially today—and I’m grateful to each and every member of the community who helped make this a reality.”
