Struever Bros. Eccles & Rouse, Humanim Inc., and Gotham Development LLC have announced plans to redevelop the Brewhouse building and bottling plant into a social and human services center and a new Baltimore headquarters for Humanim Inc.
The project consists of two phases: the Brewhouse and the Bottle Building.
The Brewhouse, a 30,000-square-foot (2,800 m²) building that once served as the main brewing facility, will be transformed into Humanim's Baltimore headquarters.
Humanim is a 35-year-old Maryland-based social and human services provider that has delivered programs and services in East Baltimore for the last 20 years.
The Bottle Building, a 60,000-square-foot (5,600 m²) c. 1937 industrial building will be converted into a center for organizations working in community arts, community services and small business development.
The Brewhouse is scheduled to start construction in summer 2007 with completion scheduled for the summer 2008.
The Bottle Building is scheduled to start construction in 2008 with completion in 2009.

The once-vibrant neighborhood around the brewery building has long been in decline and was largely forgotten by politicians and the media during the latter half of the 20th century.
About half of the homes and other buildings in the area have been demolished or are vacant.
Basic services such as grocery stores and restaurants have disappeared as well.
In 2006, the City of Baltimore moved to acquire 200 abandoned properties in the area for future demolition or rehabilitation.

The rehabilitation of the American Brewery may serve as an impetus for further investment in the East Baltimore neighborhood.
Due to its central location in a struggling neighborhood, interior space, and architectural quality, the brewery is seen by urban planners as an anchor for future community and economic development initiatives in the area.
 It is hoped that new employment and social services will attract additional investors, improving the quality of life for current and future residents.
