One of Agora’s Two New Buildings

A long-dormant building on Charles Street will come back to life starting today, after a new owner renovated it and moved employees in over the weekend.

Agora Inc., a Baltimore based network of publishing, information services and real estate companies, bought the five-story office building at 1125 N. Charles Street this month from Chase Brexton Health Services, which continues to occupy three other structures on the block.

A sale price has not been disclosed, but Agora’s total investment for acquisition and renovation has been put at more than $11 million.

Charles Street, that one block received more than $35 million worth of investment in the past five years.
