An interior design company is expanding to downtown Baltimore.
RC Interiors LLC will open a 2,400-square-foot store Dec. 2 at 339 N. Charles St.
Called Market Centre Design, the retail shop will sell art and furniture and house a design studio, says Jayne Kelly, the store's director of marketing. The space once held lingerie store Bella Sorpresa.
Kelly says the store managers liked the building's soaring ceilings, big windows, and exposed beams.
"It's a really beautiful space," Kelly says. "It's great for a designer."
The Charm City Circulator, the free city shuttle that launched in January, will make it easier than before for folks to shop downtown.
"It's just a nice location," Kelly says. "It gives us some visibility."
The design firm signed a five-year lease at the location. RC Interiors also has an office at 414 Lyman Ave. in Baltimore's Homeland neighborhood. Commercial and residential clients who work in the city will hopefully find the downtown location convenient, Kelly says.
RC Interiors staff also like that the shop is close to
Mount Vernon, an "artsy" area that is near the Maryland Institute College of Art.
The store sells a range of styles, from contemporary to antiques. It also carries many original pieces of art by local artists.
Jeremy Landsman of Baltimore's JBL Real Estate LLC brokered the deal on behalf of 339-341 N Charles LLC, an affiliate of WRH Property Holdings LLC.
