Empire Towers Stabilization Delayed | Annapolis News

Empire Towers in Glen Burnie is facing a longer-than-expected stabilization process after unpermitted garage construction made the building unsafe. Engineers are tackling the job in stages—starting with a 10-14 day phase to shore up the underground garage’s lowest level, followed by side bracing (timeline TBD). The building’s been shut down since July 9, with a 150-foot collapse zone, affecting nearby businesses and traffic. Drivers face lane closures on Route 2 southbound and Sixth Avenue, with detours via Eighth Avenue and Route 648. Businesses struggling without insurance can apply for a $2,500 grant from Anne Arundel’s Economic Development Corp. The building’s owner, Sawhney Commercial LLC, remains silent.
