2012
Hilco Redevelopment Partners (HRP) led the acquisition of the former Sparrows Point steel mill for $72 million. The site is located in Baltimore, MD on the shores of Chesapeake Bay.
2013
Upon acquisition, HRP immediately commenced the transformation of the site by working with local stakeholders and the broader Baltimore community.
Simultaneously, work began to remediate, demolish and recycle the obsolete structures and infrastructure to make way for the site’s modern future. Preliminary work also began to environmentally remediate the land that was impacted by 100+ years of steelmaking.
2014 – 2015
In late 2014, HRP and a local partner joined forces and formed Sparrows Point Terminal LLC. The new entity continued the site remediation while commencing the construction of new infrastructure and buildings for the planned tri-modal logistics center.
In late 2015, the redevelopment was re-branded as Tradepoint Atlantic and has quickly become a major port and logistics center for the east coast of the United States while creating thousands of jobs in the process.
