GENERAL INFORMATION:
6411 Beckley Street comprises a 77,225 square foot biomedical research office and laboratory building situated on 4.56 acres of industrially zoned and port adjacent land. The life sciences facility is currently 25% occupied by Pixelligent, Inc., a manufacturing company that, according to the company website, is “innovating advanced optical solutions for next-gen electronics applications.” The tenant has extended their lease through May of 2027 with increased rent beginning in June of 2025 ($543,390 gross rent per year). Current operating expenses put the building at a roughly break-even proposition as it stands, with ample opportunity for strategic building improvements to reduce overall operating expenses in addition to 75% remaining space available to occupy or lease. Proximity to the port, industrial zoning and overall acreage also present an exciting opportunity to fully reposition the building to a variety of alternative uses, including cold storage, traditional office or institutional purposes. The auction presents a unique opportunity for a strategic company headquarters, creative redevelopment or simply a well-timed value-add leasing opportunity.
LOCATION:
The property is located in the Holabird Industrial Park area of southeast Baltimore City. Formally referred to as the Fort Holabird Industrial Park, the area comprises a number of large scale logistics, manufacturing, office and research facilities, all maximizing their proximity to Baltimore’s highest volume ports and major commuter routes. The Seagirt and Dundalk Marine Terminals are each approximately one mile south. Tradepoint Atlantic is 5 miles east. I-95 and I-895 are within two miles, and I-695 (the Baltimore Beltway) is just over three miles northeast.
