The Avenue at White Marsh

|
The Avenue at White Marsh is a 300,000 square foot open air mall located in White Marsh, Maryland south of White Marsh Mall. History The Avenue was developed as a town-center in a suburb without a center. Its design is drastically different from previous suburban malls and part of a wave of similar destination retail sites across the country. Construction on the Avenue started in 1996 and was completed in 1998 with stores opening to the public as they were ready. Federal Realty Investment Trust purchased The Avenue in early 2007. Design The concept for the Avenue at White Marsh was modeled in part after the Reston Town Center, which also blends office, residential, entertainment and retail components. The Avenue stores are situated on both sides, at the beginning, and at the end of a quarter-mile main street. The layout was planned to feel old-fashioned from the stone plaza to the architecture. The Avenue was criticized early on as a "street without a town." Entertainment A plaza is located at the center of the main street where regular entertainment can take place. Each year in November the Avenue at White Marsh along with White Marsh Mall sponsors a holiday parade that goes through the main street then over to the mall.
