Tradepoint Atlantic plans $100M logistics complex in Howard County
Tradepoint Atlantic's expansion into Howard County signals a new chapter for the developer, with local officials hailing the project as transformative for the area.
Story Highlights Tradepoint Atlantic is planning a $100 million logistics complex in Howard County.
The project will create 500 new jobs in the Savage area.
Groundbreaking for the first warehouse begins in early 2026.
Tradepoint Atlantic will expand its footprint in Maryland with a $100 million, 500,000-square-foot logistics complex in Howard County.
Plans for Tradepoint at Savage Crossing, located on Route 1 near Laurel, were released Tuesday by Howard County officials and the developer. The project represents Tradepoint's first Maryland development outside of Baltimore County, where the firm has converted 3,300 acres at the former Bethlehem Steel plant in Dundalk into an international trade center with over $2 billion in private investment so far. About 500 new jobs are expected in Savage when the 35-acre project is built out.
The Baltimore County site hit its 10-year anniversary last year, and Tradepoint officials said it's time for more growth in the region. The move into Howard County is the result of ongoing negotiations with state and county leaders to develop the state-of-the-art industrial and possible manufacturing complex at 9299 Washington Blvd.

Christiana Rigby, a member of the County Council whose district includes Savage, called the move transformative for the southern Howard County community between Jessup and Laurel that today is a mix of vacant and dilapidated structures, small hotels and newly developed multi-family complexes.
"Bringing $100 million to revitalize our portion of the Route 1 corridor and creating hundreds of new jobs — I'm thrilled," Rigby said.
The future Tradepoint expansion property today holds WillScot, a mini-storage and portable office container firm, which is expected to sell the site to the large developer by year's end for an undisclosed price. Groundbreaking on the first of three Class A industrial warehouses will take place in early 2026, and the complex is expected to be completed in 2029.
"Our hope is that successful development like Tradepoint at Savage Crossing will add to the economic development ecosystem here and further encourage other businesses to look to this area for their next expansion," Howard County Executive Calvin Ball said.
Howard County recently paved the way for the expansion by passing new land use regulations to allow flex warehouse development on Route 1. A portion of the large suburban county was also recently awarded a state Enterprise Zone designation, which includes part of Route 1 near Savage, but not the Tradpoint expansion site, Ball added. That designation will allow tax breaks and other incentives to businesses located within those boundaries, and Ball pledged the county's support over the coming years to help Tradepoint put down roots.
"We realize that Tradepoint Atlantic is making a significant investment at a challenging time. Please know that we will remain your partner through this journey. Together we will meet the magic of this moment," Ball said.
Aaron Tomarchio, senior vice president at Tradepoint, said the move to expand into a new county was a way to "build upon the development model we had created." He noted that Savage's location between Baltimore and Washington, D.C. and proximity to Interstate 95 were major drivers for the project.
"Our team set their eyes on other opportunities where we could bring thoughtful, redevelopment strategies and transformational change to a new project and community," Tomarchio said.
Marc Salotti, Tradepoint's managing director, said the firm could grow further in other jurisdictions with locations "to be determined."

State Sen. Guy Guzzone, who represents a portion of the Route 1 corridor, said the area has been cited for years as ripe for redevelopment and upgrades. The thoroughfare runs through Maryland as an alternate route to Interstate 95, and was once the only roadway stretching from Maine to Florida, before the U.S. interstate system was built.
"This is a big one to have (Tradepoint) come here to redevelop this land," Guzzone said. "The fundamental of all this is jobs. At the basis, we're trying to build a community where people have jobs close to where they live and have economic development that lifts up the community. We're so lucky."
The private Tradepoint development is fueled by investors at Redwood Holdings, chaired by the low-profile yet powerhouse Baltimore investor Jim Davis. Redwood joined with Hilco Global in 2014 to acquire Sparrows Point out of bankruptcy before Hilco sold its share in the project.
Today, Tradepoint at Sparrows Point has more than 13,000 workers and other officials on site each day, and just over 50 warehouse, logistics and manufacturing facilities. A massive private port is under development on 330 acres, and the Sparrows Point Container Terminal is expected to be completed by early 2028, with 1,000 new jobs expected to follow.

I'm an avid gardener and these are the top 3 tools I use to keep my lawn in good shape
If I had to choose between a perfect lawn or perfect flowerbeds, I would always, 100%, opt for flowers over grass. However, I like the whole look to come together, which is why I still invest time in lawn care. Having an electric or gas lawnmower takes the hard work out of crafting an immaculate lawn, but I still rely on three other top tools to up my lawn's curb appeal. Here, I dive into the lawn care tools I use to keep my lawn shipshape. There's no mistaking that regularly mowing your lawn keeps it looking neat and tidy, but it requires a little more work to create an enviable, immaculate plot. I always rely on my garden edger to neaten the perimeter of my lawn after it's been mown. It creates a clean, manicured look and a distinct line between my flowerbeds and pathways. You could invest in lawn edging to create a physical barrier, such as EasyFlex No-Big Landscape Edging, which is $31 at Amazon, but I prefer to use a tool. You can choose between power edgers and manual tools. A power edger requires either gas or electricity to operate, and its rotating blades slice through the grass to form a neat edge. They are quicker to use than their manual counterparts and are more suitable for larger landscapes. Greenworks currently has a Brushless Edger on sale for $212 at Amazon, although for a budget-friendly option, you could try the Amazon Basics Double Edge Bladed Electric Corded Lawn Edger for $89 at Amazon. As I don't have an extensive lawn, my preference is for a manual lawn edger. I've been using Burgon & Ball's Half Moon Lawn Edger, which is £31 direct from Burgon & Ball in the U.K. However, for a U.S. equivalent, I'd recommend the AMES Saw-Tooth Border Edger, which is currently reduced by 24% to $30 at Amazon. This landscaping edger cuts trenches and creates, clean, finished lawn edges along driveways, lawns and sidewalks. The serrated steel blades easily cuts through grass and soil and has a footplate for control and consistency. Most of your lawn can be tackled by using a lawn mower, but there will be hard-to-reach places where you'll need to rely on another tool. Sheds, fences, flowerbeds, and children's play areas can all be sites where your mower won't reach, and although a lawn edger can tidy a border, it doesn't have the muster to trim long grass. Here's where a garden string trimmer comes in handy, although you might hear it being referred to as a weed whacker, which sounds far more fun. You can buy gas, or electric-powered versions, although if you have a large yard, I'd recommend using a gas-powered trimmer or a cordless electric trimmer so you don't have to juggle with a power cable. Rather than cutting with a sharp blade, trimmers operate using a nylon wire that rotates at such a speed the wire becomes stiff and can cut through grass and weeds. They are more expensive than lawn edgers, but they serve a different purpose. Greenworks has a 48V Cordless String Trimmer that's currently reduced by 26% to $169 at Amazon. However, Flymo recommends using a petrol-powered trimmer for dense grass, as the internal combustion engine can spin the wire much faster than other types of trimmers. But for smaller jobs, an electric or battery trimmer will be up to the task. This versatile tool easily converts from trimming to edging and includes a razor sharp blade for the smartest lawn borders on the street. It offers fast cutting up to 9000 RPM, with a 22 minute maximum run time, and weighs in at just over 5 pounds. And right now you can save $27. I don't mind a weed or two, and during No Mow May, I tend to let my lawn do its thing, but there's no denying that a weed-free lawn looks neater than one riddled with dandelions. There are not many gardeners who would admit to enjoying the chore of weeding. I compare it to dusting my house; it has to be done, I just wish someone else would do it! And I don't like the idea of using weed killers, so it's up to me. Getting down on your hands is fine, but boy, do I need a knee pad these days. I remove plenty of dandelions and other weeds, which have long tap roots, with Burgon & Ball's Dandelion Weeder, available for $18 at Amazon. However, Mike Prospero, my colleague and U.S. Editor-in-Chief, prefers using a long-handled tool. His knees and back are obviously in even worse shape than mine. He now uses Grampa's Weeder, which is $39 at Amazon. It may be twice the price of my preferred option, but it allows him to keep his dignity, as you don't need to bend, pull, or kneel to remove the pesky weeds. The four-claw design can get rid of weeds in soft soil. You simply drive the prongs down on either side of a dandelion, step on the lever with one foot, and push the pole down towards the ground. The result? The dandelion and root pop out. For drier soil, you could try Fiskars' 4-Claw Stand-up Weeder, which has sharper blades and is available for $48 at Amazon. This lightweight, long shaft handle weed puller has an easy-eject design. Four serrated, stainless steel claws firmly grab the weeds and roots for permanent removal. It also has a comfortable, wide foot platform, and sharp blades to penetrate tough soil.

Ball Corporation Stock: Is BALL Underperforming the Consumer Cyclical Sector?
With a market cap of $15.3 billion, Ball Corporation (BALL) is a global leader in aluminum packaging solutions. The company supplies beverage cans, aerosol containers, aluminum cups, and other metal packaging products to major multinational brands in the beverage, personal care, and household goods industries. Companies valued at more than $10 billion are generally considered 'large-cap' stocks, and Ball Corporation fits this criterion perfectly. In addition to its packaging business, Ball Corporation also provides aerospace technologies and services to both government and commercial customers.

Shares of the Westminster, Colorado-based company pulled back 17.2% from its 52-week high of $68.12. Shares of BALL have returned 8.7% over the past three months, outperforming the Materials Select Sector SPDR Fund's (XLB) marginal rise over the same time frame. Longer term, BALL stock is up 2.4% on a YTD basis, outpacing XLB's over 4% gain. However, shares of the metal packaging company have dipped 9.4% over the past 52 weeks, a steeper decline than XLB's 2.3% drop over the same time frame. The stock has been trading below its 200-day moving average since November last year. Yet, it has climbed above its 50-day moving average since late April. Despite Ball Corporation reporting better-than-expected Q1 2025 adjusted EPS of $0.76 and revenue of $3.1 billion, shares fell marginally on May 6 likely due to a sharp year-over-year decline in GAAP EPS to $0.63, driven by the absence of aerospace business income post its February 2024 sale. Investors may have also reacted cautiously to the modest volume growth in key segments, only low-single-digit increases in North and South America and lingering concerns about geopolitical uncertainty and aluminum price volatility. Nevertheless, rival Smurfit Westrock Plc (SW) has lagged behind BALL stock. Shares of Smurfit Westrock have declined 21.1% on a YTD basis. Despite the stock's underperformance relative to the sector over the past year, analysts are moderately optimistic on BALL. The stock has a consensus rating of 'Moderate Buy' from the 14 analysts covering the stock, and as of writing, it is trading below the mean price target of $61.23.
