Historically known as Port Covington but rebranded as Baltimore Peninsula with redevelopment efforts in the 21st century, it is a neighborhood in south Baltimore, Maryland containing 2.5 miles of shoreline. Several 2025 articles have referred to the Baltimore Peninsula project as the "Billion Dollar Ghost Town". It's surrounded by some of Baltimore's most vibrant, culturally rich neighborhoods: Federal Hill, Riverside, Locust Point and Pigtown but the development has no interchange on I-95 and to access those enclaves requires a frontage road to cross the interstate, railroad tracks and other impediments.
