Watch as a wrecking crew brings down part of the old, vacant Solo Cup plant in Owings Mills.
As contractors ceremoniously tore down one exterior cinder-block wall at the former Solo Cup plant, they ushered in a 9-month demolition project, making way for the new, retail development Foundry Row. "It's going to be a spectacular development," said Brian Gibbons of developer Greenberg Gibbons after a ceremony Thursday at the plant, 10100 Reisterstown Road in Owings Mills. "Our goal is late 2015, but it could be 2016," he said. The $140 million development project will be home for a new Wegmans among Foundry Row's 365,000 square feet of retail space. Also planned are a national fitness store, a sporting goods store and upscale shops, restaurants, and 60,000 square feet of office space, according to the Greenberg Gibbons Commercial …

Foundry Row developers updated the community on the project in a public concept meeting Thursday night.
As the Baltimore County Board of Elections nears a decision on whether or not to bring recent zoning changes to referendum, Foundry Row developers are moving full steam ahead. “We believe we have every legal right – the county also believes we have every legal right – to process this plan,” said David Gildea, attorney for Foundry Row developer Greenberg Gibbons.

The Wegmans-anchored development is set to contain 420,000 total square feet of retail, restaurants and office space at the site of the vacant Solo Cup plant on Reisterstown Road. Two groups backed by opposing developers have …

The community group opposing the proposed Foundry Row development will not name its backers. Others say a rival developer is helping to support the Say No To Solo Coalition.
On a hot July day, three teenagers distributed free bottled water at the intersection of Owings Mills Boulevard and Reisterstown Road. But these were not ordinary bottled waters. They were political statements. The labels featured Baltimore County Councilwoman Vicki Almond’s phone number, the words ‘What’s the Rush? Vote No on Foundry Row!’ and the website address for the Say No To Solo Coalition. As they distributed the bottled water, the teens collected signatures for the coalition opposing Foundry Row, the Wegmans-anchored development proposed for the vacant Solo Cup plant on Reisterstown Road. The teens said the Say No To Solo Coalition was paying them for their efforts. But they did not know who had paid for their supply of nearly 10,…

Baltimore County Councilman Kenneth Oliver is asking his colleagues to delay rezoning Solo Cup for retails as Reisterstown Road traffic studies get completed.
Councilman Kenneth Oliver asked his colleagues to delay a decision on rezoning the Solo Cup property in Owings Mills for retail development until a state traffic study is completed. Oliver said he wants to give transportation officials time to finish studying and engineering traffic improvements on “the already overwhelming traffic congestion along Reisterstown Road” in a press release Tuesday. He said it would be premature to rezone a manufacturing property prior to the completion of those processes. “When we are talking about potentially committing tens of millions of taxpayer dollars to subsidize the traffic from a developer’s proposed private project, we need to fully understand the facts and the costs,” Oliver said in the release.

The complaint from opposition about traffic congestion is a total red herring. The traffic in the area is not even that bad. There are many areas that are much worse than this. I wonder how many of the compaints are being voiced from Safeway and Giant employees. more ›
