Odenton Town Center
The Odenton Town Center is a 1600-acre mixed-use development in the heart of
Odenton, Maryland governed by a County Council-approved Master Plan outlining
its vision, goals, and development guidelines. Though in the planning stages in
some shape or form for over 40 years, the plan is finally bearing fruit as a
result of the tremendous growth coming to Odenton as a result of the 2005 Base
Realignment and Closure expansion of Fort Meade, as well as continuing growth in
the defense and technology sectors of West Anne Arundel County.
The core of the Odenton Town Center is its transit-oriented development,
designed to encourage pedestrian-friendly projects close to the Odenton MARC
Station, the busiest non-terminal station on the Penn Line. Planned projects
combine retail, restaurants, office, and residential space, as well as parks,
plazas, and recreational trails, so that members of the community can live,
work, and play without getting in their car.
Unlike other Town Centers in Anne Arundel County and surrounding areas, the
Odenton Town Center is not a single-developer project – over 20 developers
currently have projects at some stage of the development process within the
Odenton Town Center. For a look at some of those projects, be sure to visit our
