The Maryland Department of General Services initiated a request for proposal to help the Office of Design, Construction, and Energy plan, design, and construct the redevelopment of the Baltimore City Pretrial Complex.
The site, located on East Eager Street, was formerly the Baltimore City Detention Center. The demolition of the detention center was completed in August 2021, following a decision made in July 2015 to shut down the center due to unsafe conditions. The new facility will provide substance abuse services and mental health treatment to nonviolent offenders when they enter the criminal justice system.
