Towson Row Construction To Be Highlighted At Special Event

TOWSON, MD — The $350-million Towson Row construction project is getting underway this week. An event billed as a kickoff of construction is slated for June 7 at the 5-acre site, which is considered to be the gateway to Towson.

Towson Row will be built along York Road, Towsontown Boulevard, Washington Avenue and Chesapeake Avenue. The plan was to construct retail, residences, office space and a Whole Foods in the heart of downtown Towson.

Greenberg Gibbons and Caves Valley Partners are the developers overseeing Towson Row, which literally hit a rock when Caves Valley was working at the site in late 2016. Once the plans had to be redone, Greenberg Gibbons signed on to help Caves Valley with the project.

Through a bill proposed by the late County Executive Kevin Kamenetz, Baltimore County gave the developers an advance of $43,016,785 to start construction by June 2018.

County Executive Don Mohler, Towson University President Kim Schatzel and Baltimore County Council Chair Julian Jones will join Greenberg Gibbons CEO Brian Gibbons and other community leaders at the kickoff event.

Baltimore County officials say Towson Row will contain 1.2 million square feet consisting of the following:

• 250 luxury high-rise residences
• 300 high-rise student residences
• One hotel
• 100,000 square feet of retail/restaurant space
• 150,000 square feet of class A office space

The construction kickoff event will take place at 11:30 a.m. on Thursday, June 7, near Washington at Susquehanna Avenue.
