BALTIMORE — It’s the start of a transformation for part of the city.

The city held the grand opening for McElderry Apartments today.

It’s 104 units of mixed-income rentals and sits where the former Somerset homes used to be. Some families who use to live in Perkins homes now call these units home.

50 families got their pick of a unit before the building was constructed.

Mayor Brandon Scott says it’s an example of how the city should rebuild, by not just improving how areas look, but by also taking care of those already living in an area.
