Owings mills mall opened July 30th 1986 with great Fanfair. It was developed By the Rouse Company of Columbia MD, it was designed by the famed RTKL and associates. The new mall brought Macy's, Saks and Hecht's as anchors. The mall hosted a variety of mid to upscale stores, such as some of the ones pictured . It also had a Conservatory food court with marble imported from France. Owings mills was a very picturesque property, it had a trail to the nearby Owings mills Metro station. This proved detrimental to the mall as in 1992 a cleaning lady from Saks was robbed and murderd on this trail. This was really the begining of the end for this mall. Saks Later closed and was replaced by JCPenney. Lord and and Taylor and Sears were Added to the mall in 1996. Both were gone by the early 2000s and replaced by two different furniture stores, In 2006 Sears was Demolished. Also in 2006 Hecht's was sold to Macy's, this resulted in Macy's abandoning their 1986 store and moving into the Hecht's building. The old Macy's was converted to a Boscov's which closed in 2008 and was never reoccupied. Macy's closed in November 2015, JCPenney closed in Spring of 2016. In March 2016 an auction was held for the contents of the mall. Demolition started in August of 2016. By late 2018 the first stores in Mill Station Were Opened.
