BEL AIR, Md. &mdash; <a href="https://sjcventures.com/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">SJC Ventures</a>, a premier Atlanta-based mixed-use, retail and multi-family development firm, will begin the demolition process at the former Macy&rsquo;s at the Harford Mall property next week, beginning on July 22 with interior demolition and major demolition activities occurring shortly thereafter. 
Fencing went up around the property this week and first steps will include land clearing, preparing for the future <a href="https://derbyplacebelair.com/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Derby Place</a>, a 95,000-square-foot mixed use center anchored by a Whole Foods Market. 
Using basic excavation equipment, Fulton, Maryland-based family and woman-owned general contracting firm <a href="https://www.buch.us.com/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Buch Construction</a> will first disconnect the Macy&rsquo;s building from the remaining mall building before taking down the entire Macy&rsquo;s building. This will be a slow process, expected to take a number of weeks and will not include any explosives or wrecking ball equipment. 
SJC Ventures closed on the property last month, marking the second phase of the mall redevelopment. CBL Properties, a national shopping mall owner, still owns the remainder of the mall property and will be redeveloping it on a separate schedule. 
CBL Properties has owned the entire mall property for more than 20 years and has been working to redevelop the property into a large-scale mixed-use destination. During the first phase, SJC Ventures purchased and redeveloped the former Sears property at the Harford Mall and turned it into Shops of Harford Mall, which was completed in 2024.
Located at the intersections of Veterans Memorial Highway, Baltimore Pike and North Tollgate Road, the future Derby Place will be anchored by a 35,000-square-foot Whole Foods and complemented by 60,000 square feet of luxury boutiques, restaurants, shops and amenities. 
SJC Ventures plans to incorporate pedestrian walkways and greenspace that will allow for greater connectivity in the space, forming a large mixed-use complex for residents and visitors. The enhanced pedestrian and vehicular connectivity, with the creation of an access drive between Baltimore Pike and Boulton Street, will make shopping more accessible and enjoyable, fostering a vibrant community hub.
A residential component will also be included at Derby Place, featuring 249 multi-family units with an on-site parking deck. Construction on the residential portion is anticipated to start in fall 2026 by another developer.
Vertical construction at <a href="https://derbyplacebelair.com/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Derby Place</a> will start this winter, with first tenant openings projected for spring 2028. 
Pre-leasing efforts for the center are ongoing for restaurants, medical, soft goods retailers and service users. For retail leasing inquiries, contact Natalie Battisti at <a href="mailto:natalie@sjcventures.com" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">natalie@sjcventures.com</a>, Ray Schupp at <a href="mailto:rschupp@hrretail.com" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">rschupp@hrretail.com</a>, Suzanne Katz at <a href="mailto:skatz@hrretail.com" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">skatz@hrretail.com</a> and Bryan Davis at <a href="mailto:bdavis@hrretail.com" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">bdavis@hrretail.com</a>.

City of Baltimore: "No Purple Doubt" Ravens will Host Jan. '27 Playoff Game, Best NFL Team SloganAugust 3, 2026 - The "Charm'tastic Mile" of Baltimore (CTMB-1.3) <a href="https://www.thecharmtasticmile.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">www.thecharmtasticmile.com</a>. The chic &amp; famed 1.3 mile corridor located in the heart of&nbsp;Charm City (Est.1975)&nbsp;that connects&nbsp;Dwtn-West, the Inner Harbor &amp; Harbor East (S. Greene &amp; W. Pratt Street to S. President &amp; Fleet Street)&nbsp;that is now listed on Google search as one of the&nbsp;Top 10-15 Most Famous Streets in America&nbsp;is reporting it's&nbsp;"No Purple Doubt" the Ravens will host an AFC playoff game this coming January&nbsp;'27.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The Purple &amp; Black have Super Bowl aspirations for the '26 NFL campaign. The offense &amp; defense are reset. There's a new energy at training camp. Can this be the year that Lamar Jackson takes the next step in his stellar career? Will the Cincinnati Bengals be better this year? What about the Steelers, Aaron Rodgers making one last-ride for Steel Country. The AFC North will be competitive, but here in Charm City we have "No Purple Doubt" the Ravens will host a playoff game this season.&nbsp;The Ravens now boast the fan-based Best NFL Team Slogan "No Purple Doubt".&nbsp;The 3-word slogan sounds like the title of an album or Top 10 track on the Billboard List. Lamar &amp; Company will leave&nbsp;The&nbsp;Flock "No Purple Doubt"&nbsp;on the season.Superstar-hip-hop Icon Jay-Z released his debut album "Reasonable&nbsp;Doubt"&nbsp; on June 25, 1996, a few weeks before the 1st-ever Baltimore Ravens&nbsp;<a href="https://www.baltimoreravens.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">www.baltimoreravens.com</a>&nbsp;training camp that&nbsp;featured future Hall of Famers Ray Lewis &amp; Jonathan Ogden. Lewis and Ogden became the team cornerstones as the 26th and 4th overall picks of the '96 NFL Draft. The Iconic album&nbsp;name for its 30th Anniversary was a major influence to the fan-based team slogan. 2026 also the 30th Anniversary of the Ravens franchise in Baltimore.&nbsp;&nbsp;For more information or news media interview requests on the&nbsp;City of Baltimore: "No Purple Doubt" Ravens will Host Jan. '27 Playoff Game, Best NFL Team Slogan please contact Derrick E Vaughan (Famous Streets &amp; Sports Culture In America-Analyst) at 443-851-5244 or email: <a href="mailto:thecharmtasticmile@gmail.com" target="_blank">thecharmtasticmile@gmail.com</a>.&nbsp; <img src="https://mail.google.com/mail/u/1?ui=2&amp;ik=a86232ea81&amp;attid=0.1&amp;permmsgid=msg-a:r313523361932843154&amp;th=19fbdc732413e487&amp;view=fimg&amp;fur=ip&amp;permmsgid=msg-a:r313523361932843154&amp;sz=s0-l75-ft&amp;attbid=ANGjdJ-hzxV8wX8ojYIQaCb29MpmOBZNEpn8hBTUb8-pp9Ow0QUIy5fmPnIU-YiDOdy1HxRxufQSOJH1pCjY6nALY59vZYqtkZNDgjmqzTe0m30KVpTVKJebhs9nVbg&amp;disp=emb&amp;realattid=ii_msahbi5u0&amp;zw" alt="image.png">
