A $500 million development now under way may help spark the final push needed to solidify the economic activity envisioned for Owings Mills when planners designated this northwest Baltimore County corridor as a growth area more than 30 years ago.
From Interstate 795, the area’s skyline is marked with the symbol of the expansion: a towering crane at the construction site of a six-story, 120,000-square-foot structure to house a new public library and branch of the Community College of Baltimore County as part of the Metro Centre at Owings Mills development.
The rest of the 45-acre site has been cleared and graded for what will be the first phase of development for 300,000 square feet of transit-oriented commercial office space, up to 100,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, and 250 residential units. Howard Brown, chairman of David S. Brown Enterprises Ltd., is developing the project, which is expected to be completed in spring 2013.
