Up for auction is the former Social Security Administrations MetroWest Facility. This fully functioning and ready for occupation building is located on the northwestern edge of the Baltimore, MD central business district at 300 N. Greene Street. Located in the Westside neighborhood of Baltimore, the property is adjacent to many large institutions and offices, including many of UMD’s sites.
The building itself was erected in 1980, and is configured as two separate buildings connected by a two story wing that spans W. Mulberry street. The property itself is most similar to Class B property which in general is described as “for a wide range of users with rents in the average range for the area” so it can be utilized for a wide manner of uses. It isn’t every day that a centrally located, fully built and ready for use building is up for auction and with its modern façade and thoughtfully built interior, the building looks ready for immediate occupation.

The bidding style for this auction is called a “sealed bid auction.” This means that anyone interested in buying the property sends in their bid which is then held until a certain date. On the specified auction ending date, all the envelopes are opened and the highest bid is the one that is considered. The $200,000 deposit that is required to bid means this auction is not for the faint of heart and low on expendable cash resources. On the other hand, if you are able to meet the requirements and have the money to spend, then this auction is worth a look. Bidding doesn’t begin until January 27, so if you are interested, click here to subscribe to www.GovernmentAuctions.org for your FREE 3 day trial and get more detailed information including blueprints, environmental surveys and other important information.
