British luxury vehicle company McLaren Automotive will open its first U.S. vehicle processing center in Sparrows Point in late 2026, according to the Office of Gov. Wes Moore.<\/a><\/p>\n

The 50,000-square-foot vehicle processing center will be built at Tradepoint Atlantic in the Port of Baltimore, and will be equipped to customize, inspect and prepare McLaren vehicles for distribution.<\/p>\n

The first McLaren vehicle processing center in the U.S., the center will facilitate shipments to the 26 McLaren dealerships in the U.S. The project is a “more than $10.5 million” investment and will provide more than 20 new jobs for automotive technicians, logistics personnel, management personnel and automotive painters, according to a news release from Moore’s office.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to welcome McLaren to the great state of Maryland,\u201d Moore said in the release. \u201cToday, we mark the latest chapter in our work to grow our state\u2019s economy by building out high-tech manufacturing in every corner of the state. This new facility at Tradepoint Atlantic in the Port of Baltimore will turbocharge Maryland\u2019s economic engine, and is a vivid example of how we can create new opportunities by uplifting international partnerships and attracting foreign investment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nicolas Brown, the Americas president for McLaren, said the company is prepared to invest in the community as the center helps McLaren expand its brand. The automaker’s vehicles, known for their engineering, power and agility, retail starting around $225,000, according to Car and Driver.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cAs a manufacturer of high tech, innovative vehicles we are proud to be creating well-paid and highly trained technical jobs to ensure that our customers in the U.S. get the highest quality service for their new McLaren supercar,” Brown said. “The new McLaren VPC will enable us to fully check and sign off every single car, install local accessory packs and bring full paint protection film installment directly on site with the additional bonus of helping to revitalize a brownfield site.\u201d<\/p>\n
