Bottoms Up: Metro Centre Progress Continues

By Amber Woods

The multi-million dollar residential and retail project, Metro Centre at Owings Mills, continues planned expansions this week with an approved application for three restaurants at the site to hold liquor licenses.

The Metro Centre is being developed by David S. Brown Enterprises’ and is now in various stages of negotiations with potential restaurant tenants, according to bmoremedia.com.

Construction is still underway, but a six-story building that houses a branch of the Baltimore County Public Library and Community College of Baltimore County and an adjacent parking garage have already opened.

Once complete, the project will also include two five-story buildings with retail on the street level, 232 apartments above and a four-story office building. All are  scheduled to open this fall.

When fully developed, the Metro Centre will include 1.2 million square feet of office space, 300,000 square feet of retail space, 1,700 apartments, a 120,000-square foot community college and library building, and hotels with up to 250 rooms.
