On June 21, 2018, WBCM was presented with Baltimore Heritage, Inc.’s Historic Preservation Award for Adaptive Reuse for the renovation and adaptive reuse of the historic Recreation Pier. WBCM provided a complete package of engineering services for the renovation of the historic Fells Point Recreation Pier, constructed in 1914, into a three-level, 128-room luxury hotel. The hotel uses the historic head house as the lobby and bar area while additional renovations restored the ballroom and grand staircase, rehabilitated the pier, installed a pool overlooking the Inner Harbor, created additional bar and restaurant spaces, and constructed a new boat launch.
