Once home to Baltimore’s shipbuilders and can-makers, today Canco is a neighborhood landmark where history and modern life converge. With top-tier dining, retail, workspaces, and community features directly along the waterfront, Canco is a beloved all-day destination in Canton.

History

From the shipyards that launched the legendary Baltimore Clippers, to the American Can Company factory that employed hundreds of local workers, this site has always been part of Canton’s beating heart. Since its adaptive reuse in 1998, it has stood as a model for Baltimore’s ability to honor its past while shaping its future. Now, Canco enters a new chapter. This one is rooted in connection, culture, and community.
