[edit] History
From 1972-1981 the planning and development of the White Marsh Mall occurred, with the Rouse Company as owner and developer on land rented from Nottingham, the site developer. In July 1973, Sears committed as an anchor store. In 1981, most stores opened, with Bamberger's, JC Penney's, Woodward and Lothrop (Woodies), Hutzlers and Sears as the original anchors. In 1986, Bamberger's became Macy's. In 1992, Hecht's replaced the defunct Hutzlers. In 1998, Lord and Taylor replaced the defunct Woodward & Lothrop. In 2004, Lord and Taylor closed, and was replaced by a Hechts Home Store and Sports Authority. In 2006 the original Macy's closed, and was replaced by Boscov's, and the Hechts and Hechts Home Store were converted to Macy's and Macy's Home respectively.

The mall is anchored by JCPenney, Macy's, Macy's Home Store, Boscov's, and Sears. An Ikea store is on the mall property. The open-air Avenue at White Marsh shopping center is located adjacent to the mall.
