Little Patuxent Square Opens As 'Newest Howard County Gem'

COLUMBIA, MD — The new building that has been under construction for years across Little Patuxent Parkway from the Mall in Columbia is now open. Officials recently cut the ribbon at Little Patuxent Square, a towering structure that will house residential and commercial space.

Little Patuxent Square encompasses 160 apartments (from studios to three bedrooms) and 130,000 square feet of office space as well as retail space. The apartments are known as Lakehouse and range from $1,515 to more than $3,000 a month. They are set to be available for lease in late June.

Optum, a subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group, has leased all of the office space, according to County Executive Allan Kittleman.

Kittleman called Little Patuxent Square the "newest Howard County gem" at the May 24 ribbon cutting,

A branch of Howard Bank will also open at Little Patuxent Square, the Howard County Times reports.

The project broke ground in 2014, with Columbia-based Costello Construction at the helm of the residential, retail and office building capped by a rooftop pool. Additional stories provide below-grade parking.

Little Patuxent Square is located at 10201 Wincopin Circle, Columbia.
