Today's episode is all about the Packing House in Cambridge, MD. From the owner's side I'm joined by Bill Strever, CEO of Cross Street Partners and Margaret Northfleet-Neff, development partner at Cross Street Partners. From the Quinn Evans design team I'm joined by Ethan Marchant, a principal who served as the lead architect on the project.
They share their experiences and insights on this remarkable project. The Packing House was once part of a cannery empire, and now it's a hub for innovation and sustainability. If you've been curious how a building can be programmed to be a catalyst for change, fostering new opportunities and revitalizing the local economy, this episode is for you.
