The owners of the Horseshoe Casino Baltimore plan to develop a 4,000-seat concert venue in the proposed entertainment district between the casino and M&T Bank Stadium and bring a variety of musical acts and other entertainers to Baltimore.
The Paramount Baltimore would be built on the site of a dilapidated brick warehouse at 1300 Warner St. along what is a gritty and largely empty corridor, a block away from where officials announced plans last year for a proposed high-tech driving range called Topgolf.
The $50 million venue would bring another performance space to the city that is close in size to the MECU Pavilion on Pier 6 in the Inner Harbor but far smaller than Royal Farms Arena on the west side of downtown and larger than others in the city.
“Topgolf and the newly proposed concert venue will be great compliments to the entertainment corridor along Warner St.,” said City Councilman Eric Costello. “This area will provide state of the art entertainment amenities to our residents and serve as another regional attraction in Baltimore City.”
