The NHP Foundation and Henson Development Company Open the Doors to Park Heights Senior Apartments
Development is first phase of $400M Neighborhood Revitalization Plan BALTIMORE, May 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The NHP Foundation (NHPF), a national not-for-profit provider of affordable housing, partnered with The Henson Development Company (Henson), the City of Baltimore, the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD), and Park Heights Renaissance Community Development Corporation (CDC) to celebrate the ribbon-cutting of The Terraces at Park Heights—a $52 million development delivering 100 affordable one- and two-bedroom homes for seniors in Northwest Baltimore. 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 million into 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. A mural by Baltimore based multi-hyphenate artist LaToya Peoples that honors the history of people of color in the racing industry and celebrates Baltimore's heritage. "We see this as a unique opportunity to merge Baltimore's rich history with innovative, forward-thinking development that will reestablish this area as a cornerstone of economic and social activity," said Dana Henson, Vice President, Principal, The Henson Development Company, Inc. "There's a story here waiting to be retold, and we're excited to craft a narrative that blends the area's historic vibrancy with new opportunities for growth, connection, and celebration." The event featured citations from both the Mayor's office and Senator Chris Van Hollen and representatives from the many vendors responsible for the project's completion: Southway Builders, Torti Gallas & Partners, STV Inc., D.W. Kozera, and Environmental Health Consultants. The celebration aligned with the 150th running of the Preakness Stakes and the 4th Annual George "Spider" Anderson Music & Arts Festival, reinforcing the neighborhood's cultural ties to Baltimore's racing history. "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." Funding partners for the development include: $8.7M – U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) $22.5M – Tax credit equity from R4 Capital and Aetna, a CVS Health Company $13.3M – City of Baltimore $5.4M – Maryland CDA $2.1M – Deferred developer fees Additionally, through community quarterback Park Heights Renaissance, Governor Moore's Office of Children funded the ENOUGH Grant Program which contributed $300,000 toward a new onsite maker space, providing hands-on creative programming for residents and the surrounding community.

Journalism, Sovereignty rematch at Belmont is still a possibility
Journalism, Sovereignty rematch at Belmont is still a possibility Show Caption Hide Caption How oldest living Kentucky Derby winner spends his retirement Silver Charm, who won the 1997 Kentucky Derby and Preakness, is thriving at age 31 as he enjoys retirement at Old Friends Farm. Sports Pulse A rematch between Preakness Stakes winner Journalism and Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty could be in the offing at the Belmont Stakes on June 7. Sovereignty, who beat Journalism by 1 1/2 lengths in the Derby on May 3, didn't race at the Preakness in Baltimore last Saturday, with his handlers instead choosing to ready him for the Belmont. He is in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., training for the final leg of the Triple Crown. The race will be held at the upstate Saratoga Race Course for a second consecutive year as reconstruction continue at Belmont Park in Elmont, N.Y. No decision has been made yet about Journalism's status for the Belmont, but owners are considering a run. "We have the utmost respect for Sovereignty. He beat us on the square in the Kentucky Derby," Aron Wellman, Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners president and founder, told the New York Racing Association. "As much as we would love to square off again with Sovereignty, it doesn't factor into our ultimate determination of whether Journalism runs in the Belmont or not. "We would like to be in position to run in the Belmont, but it will all be contingent on Journalism and what signs he's showing us and (trainer) Michael McCarthy. It will totally be deferred to Michael McCarthy on whether or not he feels comfortable coming back on another three-week turnaround." Other horses that could compete in the Grade 1, $2 million Belmont include Rodriguez, winner of the Wood Memorial; Preakness runner-up Gosger; Kentucky Derby third-place finisher Baeza; Peter Pan winner Hill Road; and Heart of Honor, who finished fifth in the Preakness. --Field Level Media
