The Bozzuto Group Opens Doors to The Fitzgerald Apartment Community, Baltimore's Newest Work of Art

GREENBELT, Md., Oct. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- The Bozzuto Group today announced the completion and grand opening of The Fitzgerald, a distinctive new apartment community located in the heart of Baltimore's Mount Vernon cultural district.  The Fitzgerald is a mixed-use development comprised of 275 luxury apartments, 24,000 square feet of street-level retail and a 1,245 space public parking garage.  

On Thursday, October 28th, from 7:00 – 10:00 p.m., Bozzuto will commemorate the grand opening of The Fitzgerald with a celebratory event titled "Art Unveiled." The art-themed soiree will bring together local restaurants, musicians, artists, and performers to celebrate the official unveiling of Mount Vernon's newest work of art, The Fitzgerald.

Guests will enjoy a complimentary F. Scott Fitzgerald-themed martini bar, an interactive art experience, and works of local artists on display, as well as tastings from area restaurants including The Brewers Art, Cameo Caterers, The Black Eyed Susan, La Famiglia, Puffs & Pastries, Sascha's, Santoni's and Two Boots.

The Fitzgerald welcomed its first residents in June 2010 and is already 57 percent leased.  At this pace, the community will set the record for the fastest lease-up pace in The Bozzuto Group's 22-year history.  The development is registered with the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) and is on track to become largest LEED-certified apartment community in the Baltimore area.

"We couldn't be more pleased that The Fitzgerald has met such an untapped demand," said Tom Bozzuto, CEO of The Bozzuto Group.  "It has been an honor to partner with the University of Baltimore to not only provide what will be Baltimore's largest LEED-certified residential building, but to supply the greater Mount Vernon community with a vibrant, mixed-use environment that offers ample parking and convenient access to public transportation. There's truly no other place like this in Baltimore."

Available in studio, one- and two-bedroom floor plans, all residences at The Fitzgerald feature stunning gourmet kitchens with granite countertops, stainless steel ENERGYSTAR® GE® appliances, pull-out Moen® faucets and kitchen islands with built-in breakfast bars; spacious bathrooms with deep, oversized soaking tubs; full-size washers/dryers; nine-foot ceilings; and oversized windows.

Community amenities include a 2,000-square-foot fitness center and yoga studio; three distinct, stylish lounges complete with a fireplace, billiard table and bar; spectacular outdoor swimming pool and water wall courtyard; meditative courtyard with water and fire elements; movie theatre with projector and plush seating; business center equipped with Mac and PC computers; conference facilities; full-service concierge; and a parking garage with direct access to all floors.  In addition, the community is pet-friendly and the building is completely smoke-free.

A Barnes & Noble College Booksellers Superstore serves as the retail anchor of The Fitzgerald.  The store, featuring 20,000 square feet of retail space on two levels, a Starbucks-branded cafe, and designated areas for UB textbook and institutional sales, opened for business in late summer. Additional retail will open this winter.

The Fitzgerald is a joint venture between The Bozzuto Group, Gould Property Company, NYSTRS and former Baltimore Raven Michael McCrary, and sits on 4.6 acres of land owned by the University of Baltimore.  The community was developed by Bozzuto Development Company, built by Bozzuto Construction Company, and is now managed by Bozzuto Management Company.
