I know we've spoken about BHG offline, but a couple of things to add to this that make me lean toward the BHG news being much more positive than negative:

1.) Removal of the bus depot was 100% necessary if the Inner Harbor neighborhood ever wants to become more than what it is now. It's an eyesore and occupies a large chunk of prime real estate adjacent to downtown. Not sure if that happens without the investment committed to by BHG.
2.) I know for certain that BHG was thisclose to relocating to an adjacent suburb due to being unable to find a space/location that fit their needs. This deal keeps 200+ jobs in the city (downtown adjacent), with the prospect of bringing in several hundred more workers to the area.
3.) BHG built a new headquarters adjacent to the bus depot several years ago, and outgrew it within a year or so. I'm sure the seemingly large parcel that they will be occupying will serve several functions, including parking for hundreds employees, and the ability to expand on land that they currently own, if necessary down the road.
