Brickworks Limited, Australia’s largest brick manufacturer and owner of Glen-Gery, a premium U.S. brick maker, will open a 3,312-square-foot design studio in summer 2021 at the Marketplace at Fells Point, which is owned by Klein Enterprises and The Dolben Company. The space will be used to showcase Brickworks’ stylish products to architects and designers and to host speaker events for the architectural community.
“We are excited to offer an elevated experience through a high-end, modern design studio that expands on the reputation created in this market by our existing Baltimore location,” said Mark Ellenor, President of Brickworks North America.
“This two-story, corner space is ideal for Glen-Gery’s third North American design studio and we look forward to welcoming them,” said Patricia Palumbo, representing Klein Enterprises.
Bryan Davis and Brad Buslik, of MFI Realty, represented Glen-Gery in the transaction.
This news comes as F45 Training prepares to open its doors at the Marketplace in February. F45 Training is a global fitness community specializing in innovative, high-intensity group workouts that are fast, fun, and results-driven. The 2,500-square-foot studio will be F45’s first Baltimore location. While still under construction, F45 is now selling pre-opening Foundation Memberships, which include lifetime discounts and feature the lowest rates the studio plans to offer.
Palumbo added, “We are committed to bringing high-quality and diverse businesses like Brickworks and F45 Training to the Downtown Baltimore community, and we can’t wait for the neighborhood to benefit from their services.”
The Marketplace at Fells Point, at Fleet and South Broadway streets is a 160-unit, multifamily residential and 28,000-square-foot retail development in one of Baltimore’s most historic neighborhoods.
