We've seen a bunch of redevelopment near 31st & Baltz in recent years. Just yesterday for example, we told you about a bunch of apartments under construction just a half a block away. 30 Baltz, located on 30th Street, is an apartment building that's now finished and looks sweet. And MM Partners, the same guys that built 30 Baltz and a load of other projects in the neighborhood, have built plenty nearby.
Today, we look at three parcels close to 31st Street on Baltz, two of which have been blighted for years. The other has just been a vacant lot.
3045 Baltz St. was at one point a home and then more recently a church. Most recently however, it was home to a tree. The home next door has also been blighted for quite some time. Both properties are currently owned by a couple of developers who picked up the properties back in 2006. They tried to sell them for $135K each, but it doesn't seem they were successful and ultimately they decided to fix them up themselves. Alternately, it's certainly possible that they have indeed sold the properties but it's not yet reflected on public record.
Next door the long vacant, double-wide empty lot is being built upon by MM Partners, joining another down the block. That other home sold last summer for $290K, so it should be interesting to see whether the developers can get any more for this newest addition.
The changes have come quickly and furiously on this block, with numerous renovations and construction projects in the last several years. There's still room for some more, which we imagine will happen before long. Rest assured, this won't be our last visit to the 3000 block of Baltz Street.
