Suspicious packages reported at three Baltimore County synagogues Monday, officials say

Hazmat crews and police responded to reports of suspicious packages — one of which caused people to be nauseated upon opening it — at three synagogues in Baltimore County on Monday, officials said.

Parents and emergency hazmat crews responded about 1:45 p.m. to Beth El Synagogue, which operates the Pauline Mash School For Early Childhood Education at its complex at 8101 Park Heights Ave., after two adults became nauseated upon opening an envelope sent to the synagogue, officials said.

The nature of the substance that caused the reaction was not clear, and tests for poisonous substances in the building were negative, said Elise Armacost, a Baltimore County Fire Department spokeswoman.

“They opened some kind of an envelope that arrived, I believe, through the mail, and they immediately began complaining of feeling ill,” Armacost said outside the school Monday.

Thirty-three staff members and 78 children were inside the building during the incident Monday, Armacost said.

Mandy Barish, director of the early childhood school, wrote in an email to parents that “there is NO threat to the infant and toddler and preschool.”

“We are following standard procedures and doing due diligence and will keep you updated,” Barish’s email said.

A woman who answered the phone at the school said Barish was not available for an interview and declined to comment.

In a separate incident an hour later, hazmat crews were called to the Beth Isaac Adath Israel Congregation at 4398 Crest Heights Road, for a report of a suspicious package.

No injuries or illnesses were reported, and no dangerous substance was found in that incident.

In the third instance, Baltimore County police responded to the Har Sinai Congregation located in the 2905 Walnut Ave. for a suspicious envelope. Police said the congregation had received the letter a week ago and reported it to police Monday after receiving information of the other incidents. The envelope did not contain hazardous substances, according to police, and a letter — similar in nature to the previous incident — did not include a threat.

Dave Fitz, spokesman for the Baltimore field office of the FBI, said the agency is monitoring the situation, but he declined to share any further details.

“We’re aware of those letters, and we’ve been in contact with local authorities,” Fitz said.

50-Unit Apartment Building Coming to Pratt Street in Ridgely’s Delight

Zahlco Development is planning a five-story, 50-unit apartment building at 719-725 W. Pratt St. in Ridgely’s Delight. The $12-million project incorporates several existing buildings along with a vacant lot that Zahlco is purchasing from the University of Maryland, Baltimore and University of Maryland Medical Center. The properties have been vacant for more than 20 years.

Currently at the site moving east to west is a two-story building adjacent to Peace and Cup of Joe, a one-story building, a four-story historic building, and a vacant lot. Zahlco will keep the brick facade of the one- and two-story buildings, renovate the four-story brick building, and build a five-story apartment building surrounding the four-story building.

Zahlco worked with Baltimore’s Commission for Historical and Architectural Preservation (CHAP) and the Ridgely’s Delight Association on the design.

The building, which will be called 725 W Pratt, will have 5,000 sq. ft. of ground floor retail which will likely be broken up into three suites. Zahlco CEO Yonah Zahler said he likes to offer smaller retail spaces since it makes rent more affordable for more businesses.

725 W Pratt is directly across the street from University of Maryland, Baltimore and University of Maryland Medical Center.

The apartment building will have a large lobby that will incorporate the character of the four-story historic building. Zahler said the character from the lobby will carry into the design of the apartments regardless if they are in a new-construction section of the building or part of the existing structure. The apartments will have high-end finishes and no apartment will look exactly alike, according to Zahler.

The 50 apartments will be mostly one-bedroom units with a few two-bedroom apartments. Zahler said rents will average around $1500/month with some starting at $1,250/month. “We offer a nice product, but at a budget a lot of people can attack,” he said.

Building amenities will include a club room, a gym, a rooftop deck looking out towards the stadiums, and green space in the building’s park.

The rear of the building will have a 20-car parking lot.

Zahlco expects to begin construction this spring and complete the project a year later.

Zahler expects 725 W Pratt to be appealing to students and workers at University of Maryland, as well as to individuals who work Downtown and commute outside the city for work.

This is Zahlco’s tenth project in Baltimore since 2013. It also worked on 613 Portland in Ridgely’s Delight.

All of Zahlco’s buildings are within a two-mile radius of each other and are located around Downtown, Mount Vernon, and the University of Maryland, Baltimore. After selling some buildings, Zahlco currently has six active apartment buildings. It will be announcing three more projects in the coming months.

“Our apartments are more than just a place to live. We are creating a lifestyle with the atmosphere of the interior and exterior, the streetscape, and the retail,” said Zahler.

Zahler said he is looking to create a brand and hopes to eventually have 10 to 15 apartment buildings in Baltimore.

Zahler is originally from Toronto and lived in New Jersey before relocating to Baltimore 12 years ago. He is amazed by the growth Baltimore real estate and development has made since he’s been here and he sees a lot of potential in Baltimore’s future.

“It will continue to grow,” he said.
