Towson Circle Video Shows New Angle On Area

TOWSON, MD — Circle East is under development in the heart of Towson. Construction for the residential and retail components of the project are underway on East Joppa Road.

Circle East will include redevelopment of the former Trader Joe's and Barnes & Noble stores.

The plan is to transform roads into a pedestrian friendly area with a 371-unit apartment building and 240,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space.

"Circle East is poised to become the focal point of aspirational retail in Towson, Maryland," according to the project's vision.

Circle East will mark the redevelopment of an iconic part of Towson, where the Hutzler's department store used to be from 1952 to 1990, according to the Maryland Historical Society.

Retail Properties of America is developing the project, which calls for construction of high-rise apartments, retail and parking.

It is set to be complete in 2020.
