Enterprise Community Development celebrate opening of Park Heights Place in Baltimore City

$15.8M rehab. preserves 84 affordable homes for seniors and enhances housing stability

Baltimore, MD — Enterprise Community Development joined city and state leaders, community partners and residents on April 29 to celebrate the grand opening of the newly renovated Park Heights Place, an 84-unit affordable senior housing community located at 5430 Park Heights Avenue in Baltimore City.

Attendees included Shaun Donovan, chief executive officer of Enterprise Community Partners; Janine Lind, president of Enterprise Community Development; Calvin Young, deputy mayor for the City of Baltimore; Del. Sean Stinnett and Del. Sandy Rosenberg; Angela Steele, director of rental lending at the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development; representatives from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Maryland Community Development Administration (CDA); and community partners and residents.

The celebration marked the completion of a $15.8 million renovation that preserves the long-term affordability of the community while enhancing living conditions for residents. Originally constructed in 1998, Park Heights Place serves older adults with limited incomes, most earning 50% or less of the Area Median Income (AMI), and remains a critical source of affordable housing in the Park Heights neighborhood.

The rehabilitation addressed deferred maintenance and introduced upgrades designed to support aging in place. Improvements included renovated kitchens and bathrooms, modern appliances, accessible design modifications for residents with mobility, hearing and vision impairments, modernization of common areas, installation of energy-efficient windows and LED lighting and the addition of an on-grade diesel generator to strengthen life-safety during power outages.

“Baltimore’s older adults built this city, and they deserve to age in place with dignity and stability,” said Calvin Young, Deputy Mayor for Community and Economic Development. “

“We are proud to celebrate the completion of Park Heights Place and the investments that ensure seniors can continue living safely and affordably in the community they call home,” said Janine Lind, president of Enterprise Community Development. “Preserving affordable housing is not just about maintaining buildings — it is about strengthening stability, dignity, and long-term opportunity for Baltimore’s older adults.”

The redevelopment was supported by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the Maryland Community Development Administration (CDA), Federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credits syndicated by Enterprise Housing Credit Investments, HUD’s Green and Resilient Retrofit Program (GRRP) and the Maryland Energy Administration. Most apartments receive project-based subsidies, ensuring that the community remains affordable to low-income seniors for years to come.

Mosely Architects served as the project architect, Harkins Builders as the general contractor and KCW as the civil engineer. Enterprise Residential will provide ongoing property management and resident services.
