Owings Mills Mall was a large shopping mall that once hosted 155 stores and eateries, in the Baltimore County, Maryland, community of Owings Mills. It was owned and managed by Kimco Realty. While its main entrance was off Red Run Boulevard between Painters Mill Road and Owings Mills Boulevard, the mall was also accessible from the exit ramps of I-795. It was originally known as Owings Mills Town Center, but a new nearby development in the vicinity has now been given that name (see Owings Mills Town Center). The mall was scheduled for demolition and redevelopment into a lifestyle center similar to that of Hunt Valley Towne Centre and The Avenue at White Marsh, though the plan was that the movie theater and some anchor-store spaces would remain.
The mall's final anchor store was JC Penney, which closed its doors on April 8, 2016. Previous anchors were Macy's, Boscov's,Lord & Taylor,Saks Fifth Avenue, and Sears. IFL (International Furniture Liquidators) was temporarily located in the space vacated by Lord & Taylor. Sticks 'n Stuff, a furniture retailer, was temporarily located in the space vacated by Sears until 2004. The mall experienced the closure of several national stores, leaving many vacancies in this once upscale mall.
Owings Mills Mall was developed by The Rouse Company and opened in July 1986 as Owings Mills Fashion Mall. The area was identified as a primary growth center in 1979 by Baltimore County and originally intended to be built around a lake. The Rouse Company planned to develop the mall and surrounding area similar to its town center project in Columbia, Maryland. Environmental regulations changed during the time between the development of Columbia and Owings Mills and the Army Corps of Engineers concluded the lake would have a negative environmental impact. The mall was built, but the area does not include the waterfront focal point initially planned.
