Towson Square
Towson Square, originally known as Towson Circle III while in planning, is an outdoor mall constructed between 2013 and 2014 in Towson, Maryland. The outdoor mall was estimated to cost $85 million to be built by its developers, The Cordish Companies and Heritage Properties, Inc. It is anchored by a 16-screen movie theater operated by Cinemark.
The development now occupies an area that was primarily parking lots located between East Joppa Road, Delaware, Virginia, and East Pennsylvania avenues. The developer intended to incorporate into a planned park an existing, an historic cemetery that borders on Shealy Avenue. Shealy Avenue crosses roughly through the center of the development's property.
On Thursday, July 10, 2014, Cinemark officially opened its 15 screen movie theater at Towson Square as part of its 30-year anniversary celebrations. The theater featured Cinemark's then newest concept, a reserve level where people could actually reserve specific luxury seats in a special area and have an expanded food selection and alcoholic beverages. It also features Cinemark's NextGen concept that has been described as offering "the latest technology and amenities under one roof." The Baltimore Sun reported that the Towson Cinemark theater is Cinemark's official international flagship movie theater, replacing its former international flagship location in Dallas, Texas.
While Towson Square was successful in its heyday, it has experienced significant decline, leading to its description by many as a "ghost-town".
Bobby's Burger Palace and World of Beer closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In August 2023, BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse closed as part of a nationwide decision to close five underperforming locations. Bonefish Grill closed in September 2023.
In March 2025, On the Border closed due to bankruptcy.
In July 2025, Nando's Peri-Peri closed its location in Towson Square because it chose not to renew its lease after a decade. With the massive number of store closures, this directed tourists and locals away from Towson Square to other shopping centers in Towson, like the nearby Towson Town Center, and even other shopping centers in the Baltimore area like Arundel Mills.
As of July 2025, nearly all the restaurants around the Cinemark theater are shut down.
