Finally, last on our Buildings Rising Around Ocean City MD is the new Cambria Resort & Conference Center, located at N 1st St and St Louis Ave, at the site of the old Cropper’s Cement Plant, across the street from de Lazy Lizard Restaurant and catty corner from the new Ocean City Beach Ball Water Tower.

Hope you enjoyed our little tour of Buildings Rising Around Ocean City MD, lots of changes, and surely lots more to come. With the Census Reporter estimate of 9.6 million people in just the Baltimore-Washington Metropolitan Area, add another 6 million plus when you include the Philadelphia area. And, with the population in Ocean City stagnant at less than 8,000, room for all the summer employees is much needed as well.
We’ll continue to watch the changes around OC and will do our best to keep you up to date…
