Officials gathered Tuesday to herald the start of construction on a new 44-story apartment tower on the Inner Harbor parking lot that was once home to the McCormick & Co. spice factory.

Stephen Gorn, the chairman, president and CEO of Questar Properties, hosted the groundbreaking celebration for the $160 million-plus blue glass apartment building Tuesday, pledging to complete the project in two years.

Gorn said the 414 Light Street development is a legacy building for his family firm, which has built thousands of apartment communities across Maryland.

"This is certainly the most exciting, challenging project we have," said Gorn, 64, who founded Pikesville-based Questar in 1971 with his brother-in-law, following his father and grandfather into the industry. "This could be our magnum opus."

Our hearts ache for the families and loved ones left behind by young lives snatched by gunshot on our streets. Our hearts ache for the young and old alike who are trapped in places where violence is a way of life. Our hearts ache for our City - a truly great City - whose identity has been defined by these tragedies for too long.
