We are incredibly proud to see the transformation of the historic Roosevelt Mall!

Working alongside Brixmor Property Group on this revitalization has been an amazing journey in thoughtful placemaking.

From great new dining spots like Cava and Shake Shack to essential wellness and grocery spaces like Sprouts, it is a joy to see this Northeast Philly institution get the vibrant next chapter it deserves!

A morning to review the progress with owners Sandy & Jazz. You can sense their excitement for another jewel in One Love Restaurant Group’s crown: Blü Cã!

Here’s a sneak peek before the muralist Kelly Walker of splashes in the water!

Blü Cā will serve an authentic Jamaican-inspired menu featuring both traditional and international dishes crafted around a “Reggae Asian Fusion” theme. The restaurant is a “Cruise vibe with Waterfront views: A whole new destination for food, culture, and community.”

Great conversation this morning at the Bisnow Baltimore State of the Market event. It was energizing to hear real momentum behind the city’s next chapter.

David Bramble’s leadership continues to stand out. His clarity around long-term investment, community impact, and disciplined development feels especially important right now.

The line that stuck with me: “I like this town.” Simple, but it says everything—belief in Baltimore as a place worth building, not just talking about.

That mindset is what moves cities forward.
