4MLK will be the center of gravity for researchers, innovators, experts and entrepreneurs working at the leading edge of science and technology.

Serving as a gateway between the BioPark, UMB, and the University of Maryland Medical Center, 4MLK will further the BioPark’s mission of bringing together faculty researchers, entrepreneurs, seasoned life science leaders, and community-focused initiatives and programs for the advancement of human health innovation.

The 8-story, 250,000-square-foot building, Phase I of a two phase project located at the intersection of Martin Luther King, Jr. (MLK) Blvd. and Baltimore St., will provide critical wet laboratory space in downtown Baltimore for researchers and companies, flexible lab and office/support space for start-ups, and Class A office space, along with areas for convening and a conference center.

Groundbreaking will occur in fall 2022 with delivery expected in summer 2024.
