Under Armour unveils plans for new global headquarters
Under Armour recently unveiled a master plan to build an iconic high-performance global headquarters campus in Baltimore’s Port Covington district. The proposed urban waterfront campus will accommodate 10,000 Under Armour teammates, occupy approximately 4 million square feet, include public access around the Port Covington peninsula, and dramatically transform a former industrial site.

True to Under Armour’s enterprising spirit, the new global campus is designed to be performance-driven. Its design focuses on interaction, flexibility, resource conservation, and ecological stewardship of the Patapsco River’s Middle Branch and Chesapeake Bay. The campus will become a model for urban development, efficiently centralizing a high density of people on a small piece of urban land. Through its master plan, Under Armour’s campus buildings are designed to adapt to the ever-changing business landscape.
The renowned Baltimore-based headquarters will forever change the way Baltimore is positioned moving forward. Under Armour’s global campus will initiate a resurgence of Port Covington and a revival of Baltimore. The new headquarters will be a model among creative workplace campuses – and by anchoring itself in the heart of Baltimore – Under Armour will continue its commitment to the City’s economic revitalization, catalyzing urban development, and helping to restore the Patapsco River ecology.
