Dear Members and Friends:
As the lead advocate for Downtown Baltimore, The Partnership is working hard every day to
improve the environment for the area’s businesses, residents and visitors. Each employee in
our organization, no matter what their official title or job description, has one mission and
one mission only – to make sure every Downtown employer, employee, resident and visitor
has a positive experience here.
Carrying out this mission requires attention to a broad spectrum of issues that includes pick-
ing up trash or removing graffiti. It involves working to stop aggressive panhandling or
answering questions about City permits. And, it means securing new parking or helping
bring new office, retail and residential space online, then filling it.
In 2003, we experienced success in all these areas. Phase I of the Streetscape improvements
to Charles Street was completed and Phase II was nearing completion. Our events such as
the Annual Meeting, First Thursdays, Picnics in the Park and the special Hairspray DaysDowntown promotion drew record crowds and garnered valuable media attention. The inno-
vative Court Watch program celebrated its one-year anniversary in October. We are set to
expand Video Patrol to the Westside and Market Place. We also continued to play a signifi-
cant role in economic development. Years of effort to increase parking have led to the cre-
ation of almost 4,000 new spaces. The six-year-old Downtown Housing Initiative has helped
bring 1,800 new residents Downtown. And, the Façade Improvement Program has facilitated
the beautification of 30 business buildings to date, and has stimulated more than $5 million
in private investment.
We are pleased with these successes but recognize that Downtown is not static. It is con-
stantly changing, with new challenges taking seed as other challenges are overcome. Even
as we take a moment to recognize our accomplishments in 2003, rest assured we are also
working hard to sustain this positive momentum into 2004 and beyond. For example, work-
ing with Mayor O’Malley and the City Office of Homeless Services, The Partnership intro-
duced two important pieces of legislation to City Council. One will prohibit nighttime pan-
handling because of its negative effect on quality-of-life and the inherent danger it implies.
The other bill will implement a two-year pilot program to dramatically increase outreach to
the homeless.
We will continue to listen to our constituents, to build strong working relationships with our
public and private sector partners, and to take on the issues that matter most to the Downtown
community. In short, we will continue to make Downtown’s environment the best it can be.
Sincerely,
James L. Shea Michele L. Whelley
Chairman of the Board President

In 2003, Downtown Partnership’s reputation as a results-oriented
organization was strengthened through a number of key accom-
plishments and the achievement of important milestones, including
successes in several long-term initiatives developed and implement-
ed during the past several years. Highlights of the organization’s
2003 accomplishments include:
STREETSCAPE IMPROVEMENTSMore than $10 million in Streetscape improvements were complet-
ed on sections of Baltimore Street, Eutaw Street, Lexington Street,
Market Place and Saint Paul Place. Phase I of the Charles Street
improvements was completed (from Lombard to Saratoga streets)
and Phase II (from Saratoga to Centre streets) was well under way.
PARKING PROGRESSIn 1997, The Partnership brought attention to the fact that Down-
town was experiencing a chronic parking shortage that was driv-
ing businesses out of the area. By 2003, after years of tireless
advocacy and with the strong support of Mayor O’Malley, 4,500
new spaces were added to Downtown’s parking supply with 715
more currently under construction.
TRANSPORTAT ION SUCCESSThe Downtown Area Shuttle (DASH) celebrated its first anniversary
by achieving full ridership of approximately 920 riders from 74
member companies. Launched by The Partnership as a convenient
and affordable satellite parking system, DASH ferries commuters
between parking lots near Camden Yards and various stops on
the Westside and in City Center.
COURT WATCH ANNIVERSARYOctober marked the one-year anniversary of Downtown’s Court
Watch program. This successful program was created by the
Downtown Safety Coalition in conjunction with the Baltimore
Police Department Central District, the Baltimore City State’s Attor-
ney’s Office and the District Courts to increase the prosecution of
quality-of-life crimes such as aggressive panhandling, public uri-
nation, illegal vending and vandalism. By stepping up community
involvement in the legal system, Court Watch and its volunteers
ensure that juries and prosecutors recognize the negative effect
these offenses have on the community.
RES IDENT IAL DEVELOPMENTIn 1997, The Partnership advocated for the creation of a more
focused Downtown Housing Initiative to help develop market-rate
rental housing, including the conversion of older, obsolete office
space into apartments. In 2003, with the assistance of the Down-
town Housing Initiative, more than 1,225 units were completed
with an additional 1,075 under construction. Since 1999, 16
vacant or underutilized buildings have been recycled into housing,
activating 1.1 million square feet of real estate and providing
homes for 1,800 new residents.
WAYFINDING S IGNAGEThe Partnership partnered with the Mount Vernon Cultural District
to increase foot traffic and encourage more people to discover
Downtown’s great cultural institutions, architecture and attractions
through the addition of new directional signs. Installation of the
Pedestrian Wayfinding System began in October with approxi-
mately 70 signs placed throughout City Center and Mount Vernon.
Six informational kiosks will be installed in spring 2004, and plan-
ning is underway for additional signs to debut on the Westside
and near Camden Yards by fall 2004.
DOWNTOWN MARKET INGThe Partnership’s networking, member and consumer events contin-
ued to draw record crowds. The Business Over Breakfast network-
ing series attracted more than 1,200 attendees and the Annual
Meeting had record attendance of more than 900. Thousands
more enjoyed another great season of concerts, picnics and signa-
ture events such as First Thursdays concerts, Picnics in the Park, the
Annual Lighting of the Washington Monument and the multi-event
promotion Hairspray Days Downtown.
2003 HIGHLIGHTS
2 D o w n t o w n P a r t n e r s h i p 2 0 0 3 A n n u a l R e p o r t
Beyond the highlights, Downtown Partnership continues to strive to
fulfill its mission of making Downtown a great place to live.
DOWNTOWN: CLEANER , SAFER AND MORE BEAUT IFULThe Partnership’s successful Clean & Safe programs continue to
make Downtown a more appealing place for workers, residents
and visitors.
In 2003, Public Safety Guides assisted more than 200,000 citi-
zens, visitors and employees, completed more than 130,000
checks on local businesses and provided nearly 725 Safety
Escorts. Clean Sweep Ambassadors swept up more trash than ever
– nearly 875 tons of litter and debris – and removed graffiti and
posters from more than 3,000 locations, double the number from
the previous year.
Beyond these fundamental Clean & Safe services, The Partnership
continues to look for successful and innovative ways to enhance
Downtown’s appeal and appearance. These initiatives include:
VIDEO PATROLThe Video Patrol program continued to increase safety Downtown.
According to the most recent data available from the Baltimore
Police Department, between 2001 and 2002, crime in Video
Patrol areas was down 25% compared with the rest of the city. As
2003 ended, the current, 64-camera system was set to expand
into two additional Downtown neighborhoods – the Westside and
Market Place. The new cameras will feature a digital format that
enhances picture quality and efficiency.
COMMUNITY SERVICE WORKERSThe Partnership supervises the largest number of court-ordered
community service workers in Baltimore other than the City itself. In
2003, 2,247 Community Service Workers were assigned more
than 32,370 total hours of work through The Partnership, helping
keep Downtown clean. This work was provided at no cost to The
Partnership and augmented the ongoing responsibilities of the
Clean Sweep Ambassadors — such as sidewalk and curb
sweeping, graffiti removal and public space maintenance.Safety Guides are Downtown’s Ambassadors, helping more than 200,000 citizens, visitors
and employees annually.

2003: THE YEAR IN REVIEW
DOWNTOWN CODE ENFORCEMENTDowntown Partnership spearheads a comprehensive campaign to
improve the appearance of area properties and street-level busi-
nesses. As part of this effort, a City housing inspector was
assigned to work with The Partnership, inspecting all buildings
within the 106-block Downtown Management District and identi-
fying code violations. The inspector can issue legally enforceable
violations to property owners not in compliance with City codes
with respect to façades. In the first year of the program, the
inspector evaluated approximately 800 properties and identified
approximately 300 code violations. The Partnership is tracking
these violations and working with property owners to make the
necessary improvements.
FAÇADE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMThe Partnership’s Façade Improvement Program (FIP) is improving
the way storefront businesses look in neighborhoods across
Downtown. Thanks to $240,000 in additional funding from the
City, bringing total funding to more than $600,000, the FIP will be
continued. This popular grant program provides up to $10,000 in
matching funds, as well as architectural and design review assis-
tance, to storefront businesses that want to improve the look of
their buildings. Through the end of 2003, 30 projects had been
completed and another 25 were in progress.

2003: THE YEAR IN REVIEW
DOWNTOWN SAFETY COAL IT IONThe Downtown Safety Coalition, a network of 3,000 local
public and private safety providers, was launched in 1994
to provide a more comprehensive approach to keeping
Downtown safe. Through monthly meetings and daily e-
mails, the Coalition links The Partnership, Baltimore Police
Department, building and hotel security, property managers
and federal agents into a network with the goal of sharing
information and innovative ways to make Downtown –
already the safest area in the city – even safer. Since 1998,
the Coalition’s e-mails, displays and presentations, training
workshops and safety pamphlets have reached more than
30,000 people and led to successful programs such as
Video Patrol and Court Watch.

4 D o w n t o w n P a r t n e r s h i p 2 0 0 3 A n n u a l R e p o r t
The Partnership’s Downtown Housing Initiative (DHI) began in
1997 with the goal of adding 1,000 market rate apartments to the
existing 3,500-unit Downtown inventory. In 2000, the goal was
doubled and then exceeded by the end of 2003 as more than
2,300 new apartments were either completed or under construction.
Increasing the size of a housing market by 65% in a relatively
short period of time is an impressive feat, but the work does not
stop there. By the time the projects now in progress are complet-
ed, the new residents the apartments attract will bring at least
$100 million in annual buying power into Downtown. They will
need places to shop and dine; places to bank and take their dry
cleaning. In short, they will need all the conveniences of a typi-
cal neighborhood.
In 2003, the DHI focused on strengthening Downtown’s neighbor-
hoods for the influx of new residents, and for the benefit of long-
time dwellers. Key accomplishments included:
CONNECT ING RES IDENTS WITH RETAILERSThe DHI created an online directory that Downtown residents and
employees can use to find goods and services such as the closest
bank branch or flower shop. This searchable database can be
accessed through our website, GoDowntownBaltimore.com.
INCREASING RETAIL New residential developments are bringing new retail opportuni-
ties. Several apartment buildings include ground-floor retail estab-
lishments and, with the number of new residents steadily growing,
the demand for retail will continue. The Partnership’s staff is
aggressively pursuing retailers and restaurants to locate or expand
Downtown. The strategy is working, as all four Downtown sub-
districts (City Center, Westside, Mount Vernon and the Waterfront)
are experiencing success in attracting new retail businesses.
BUILD ING COMMUNIT IESThe DHI holds a series of regular meetings with the managers of
Downtown residential properties to help them (and their residents)
stay abreast of Downtown news and trends. It functions like any
community association, tracking development projects, legislation
and other issues of concern to Downtown residents. The meetings
also serve as a forum where property managers make suggestions
on how The Partnership can help improve the area’s quality-of-life.
NEW HOUSINGIn 2003, The Partnership continued working with developers and
the City to further increase the number of market rate housing units
Downtown. The DHI tracks local market conditions, coordinates
City incentive packages and provides expertise on design and
permitting processes. Specific projects that benefited from this
assistance include: Symphony Center Apartments (901 N. Howard
Street), The Abell Building (333 W. Baltimore Street), Market Cen-
ter West (Howard & Lombard streets), the BGE Building (37 W.
Lexington Street) and 519 N. Charles Street.
PROMOTING DOWNTOWN L IV INGThe DHI distributed 25,000 copies of the Living Downtownguide to major employers and office buildings, as well as col-
leges and universities throughout the region. This publication
markets the advantages of living Downtown and promotes spe-
cific residential developments. By the end of 2003, plans were
underway to produce a second edition of the Living Downtownguide and the DHI is preparing to unveil a redesigned Down-
town Living website in 2004.

Home to 2,600 companies employing 90,000 people, Downtown
Baltimore offers the single largest concentration of professional
and business opportunities in the region. Clearly, the economic for-
tunes of both the City and the State are inexorably linked to
Downtown’s ability to maximize opportunities and tackle chal-
lenges facing its business sector.
The Partnership’s Economic Development team works to
improve Downtown’s business climate by tracking Downtown’s
economic performance, addressing pressing concerns through
public relations and legislative policy, and meeting with repre-
sentatives of more than 400 businesses each year. Key success-
es in 2003 included:
TRACKING ECONOMIC INDICATORSOn an annual basis, The Partnership conducts detailed research
and analyzes the economic health of Downtown Baltimore by
benchmarking changes to the employment and real estate bases,
tracking capital investment and evaluating Downtown’s sub-dis-
tricts. The analysis identifies economic trends and helps shape The
Partnership’s strategic initiatives. Its findings are detailed in the
annual State of Downtown Baltimore Report and are utilized by
local and national real estate professionals as well as economists
and investors.
In 2003, as an addendum to the State of Downtown BaltimoreReport, The Partnership set out to collect information that will
detail Downtown’s economic importance to other areas of the city.
Working with the Institute for Policy Studies at Johns Hopkins Uni-
versity and the Jacob France Institute of the University of Balti-
more, we hope to quantify the economic return that Downtown
employees and residents provide to the city. For the first time, this
will provide a tool that demonstrates Downtown’s economic
importance to the city, and will further justify policies and pro-
grams that could benefit Downtown’s employers, residents and
retail establishments.
A NEW LOOK FOR CENTER PLAZAIn 2003, Center Plaza, one of Downtown’s most underutilized
resources, took a major step toward its transformation. Design
work that began in 2002 was nearing completion and funding
was identified that will allow construction of the $5.5 million proj-
ect to begin in the spring of 2004 and be completed in mid-2005.
When finished, the three-acre plaza will be connected to an urban
green space with amenities such as a WiFi network and special
events programming that will turn Center Plaza into one of the
city’s truly great amenities.
RETAIL MARKET ING AND RESEARCHFor the fourth year in a row, The Partnership participated in the
International Council of Shopping Centers convention in Las
Vegas. In 2003, we shared a booth with the Baltimore Develop-
ment Corporation, Charles Street Development Corporation and
Downtown developers to market Baltimore’s investment potential to
national retailers.

Each year, thousands of people enjoy concerts, picnics and spe-
cial events produced by Downtown Partnership’s Marketing
Department with the support of our many sponsors and partner
organizations. The goal is to promote a positive image of Down-
town and its attractions through events, advertisements and public
relations. Specific marketing initiatives in 2003 were:
DOWNTOWN CONCERT SER IESThe Partnership’s First Thursdays series continued to bring City
Center and Mount Vernon alive with lunchtime events and evening
concerts in Hopkins Plaza and Mount Vernon’s West Park from
May through October. For the third consecutive year, Picnics in thePark brought a festive atmosphere to Preston Gardens across from
Mercy Medical Center. Music and food encouraged hundreds of
people to enjoy the park during their lunch hour.

NETWORKING EVENTSThe Partnership’s networking events have become a popular place
to see and be seen, regularly drawing more than 400 people to
events such as the celebration of Downtown living at Sonar and
the Westside Block Party, held outside in the 400 block of Red-
wood Street and featuring a Hairspray-themed party and hard
hat tours of the Hippodrome Theatre. The Partnership also contin-
ued the successful Business Over Breakfast series that attracted
more than 1,200 attendees with topics on tourism, transportation,
the importance of higher education to Downtown’s economy and
the State of Downtown Baltimore Report.
DOWNTOWN FOR THE HOL IDAYSFor the fourth consecutive year, The Partnership presented Down-town for the Holidays, a marketing campaign promoting events
that began on November 20th with the Downtown Holiday LunchParty and continued through New Year’s Day. During the six-week
promotion, area merchants and attractions pulled out all the stops
with dozens of events, discounts and special celebrations. One of
the perennial favorite holiday events is A Monumental Occasion,
the annual lighting of the Washington Monument. The 32nd annu-
al lighting was better than ever, drawing a crowd of more than
5,000 and featuring celebrity lighters Mayor O’Malley and
Olympic medallist Dorothy Hamill.

total revenues of $4.7 billion in 2002. This Downtown-based
Fortune 500 company is the nation’s leading competitive suppli-
er of electricity to large commercial and industrial customers.
BGE delivers the power to business and residential customers
across the region and recently recommitted to keeping its head-
quarters Downtown.
LEGACY UNL IMITED/HARRISON DEVELOPMENT CORPORAT IONBrian Morris: CEODean Harrison: President, COOLegacy Unlimited/Harrison Development Corporation is a full-serv-
ice real estate development company headquartered on Charles
Street. Although a relatively new company, this small, minority-
owned firm is already playing a significant role in development
projects that will bring new residents and retail businesses to
Downtown. Legacy’s expertise, its flexibility and its impressive roster
of projects and partners make it one of the area’s rising stars – and
a firm whose growth and prosperity will mirror that of Downtown.
PETER M. MART INPeter M. Martin, retired Chairman and CEO of Provident Bank-
shares Corporation, has been one of Baltimore’s most influential
business leaders for more than a decade. He was the guiding
force behind Provident Bank’s evolution from a small thrift in 1990
into Maryland’s second largest independent bank in 2002. Never
one to seek the limelight, Martin has served quietly on numerous
boards, including valuable work as a Board Chair of Downtown
Partnership. He has volunteered countless hours on behalf of
Downtown and the city as a whole.
DR. MORTON I . RAPOPORTDuring his 21-year tenure as President of the University of Maryland
Medical System, Dr. Morton I. Rapoport built a world-class, six-hos-
pital system and transformed its academic teaching hospital – the
University of Maryland Medical Center – into a regional referral
center for trauma care, cancer care, cardiac care and organ trans-
plantation. UMMS is now the fourth largest employer in the region,
accounting for nearly $1.6 billion in economic activity in Maryland -
much of that in Downtown. His achievements, including the new
$150 million Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Building on Lombard
Street, have done as much to improve the health of Downtown as
they have to improve the health of people across the region.
UNIVERS ITY OF MARYLAND BALT IMOREDr. David J. Ramsay: PresidentFounded in 1807, University of Maryland Baltimore is Maryland’s
only public academic health, human services and law center. Its
seven professional and graduate schools train the majority of the
state’s physicians, nurses, dentists, lawyers, social workers and phar-
macists. With 5,476 students and 6,100 faculty members and staff,
the University is an important economic engine for the region and a
major driver of the revitalization of Downtown’s Westside. In addi-
tion to its educational and economic importance, the University is a
positive member of the community, with its staff and students giving
more than two million hours of volunteer service each year.
VICTOR PASCAL CUSTOM TAILORSVictor Pascal: Owner & PresidentVictor began his career in fashion in Paris at the age of 14 where
he apprenticed under one of Paris’ master tailors – his father. In
this country, Victor’s expertise has been sought by top fashion
houses, including Christian Dior and Ralph Lauren. He could have
located his business anywhere in the country, but chose Baltimore,
where his mastery of tailoring is matched by his devotion to
Downtown. Victor and his wife, Ann, are tireless advocates of
Downtown Partnership and its programs. When they are not help-
ing Baltimoreans look better, they are working to dress up the win-
dows of Downtown businesses by encouraging more attractive
storefront displays and a more vibrant climate for retail.
FAÇADE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (F IP ) ARCHITECTSAs part of Downtown Partnership’s Façade Improvement Pro-
gram (FIP), local architecture firms have volunteered to draft
