“Greenleigh is placemaking at its best.” Kevin Kamenetz Baltimore County Executive

Elected officials and developers gathered on May 17 to break ground on a $750 million mixed-use community that will bring 1,500 homes, along with retail and office space, to Middle River.

The 200-acre development, called Greenleigh at Crossroads, is part of the 1,000-acre Baltimore Crossroads business development off Route 43 in Middle River near White Marsh. The project is a collaboration of developers, including St. John Properties, Somerset Construction Company and Elm Street Development.
