A new 30,000-square-foot business incubator planned for Johns Hopkins University's East Baltimore campus will more than double the university's capacity for startup companies and is a major step toward its goal of being a bigger player in technology commercialization.
The new incubator, called FastForward East, will be housed at 1812 Ashland Ave., a 170,000-square-foot building by Forest City Enterprises, Inc. The building will be the next to go up in Hopkins' Science + Technology Park, which is part of the 88 acre East Baltimore Development, Inc. project, for which Forest City is the master developer. Construction is expected to be complete in 2016.
