About Us
The Hanover Street Bridge was built in 1916. It geographically spans the Middle Branch of the Patapsco River in South Baltimore, MD.
Facing north, the bridge points to the vibrancy and commercial possibilities captured by a downtown cityscape.
Facing south, the bridge and street connect to multiple parks and services, underscoring its role in supporting the local ecosystem.
This is the inspiration for the name Hanover Street Advisors - helping businesses grow in ways that strengthen commerce and community.
