Case Studies


Harbor East Marina

Harbor East Marina, located in the heart of Baltimore’s historical Inner Harbor, is now a premier and bustling marina – but back in 2016, it was in need of a new direction. The marina no longer matched the levels of upscale developments surrounding the harbor and it was time to rethink the marina’s offerings.

Oasis Development oversaw the full $9 million marina renovation, including the construction of new floating docks, upgraded electrical systems, IPE decking, and dredging of the northeast corner of the marina.

The remodeled marina now boasts 180 slips and 500 feet of alongside dockage.

The redevelopment, coupled with Oasis Marinas’ management services, led to a 45% positive impact on Net Operating Costs in year one.

Now, Harbor East Marina continues to see growth with:

  • 100% occupancy and a consistent waitlist each season
  • Accommodation of over 20 superyachts per season
  • 41% reduction in site expenses
  • Best-in-Class recognition as voted by the local boating community
