==Attractions and facilities== Owings Mills is home to approximately a dozen major shopping centers and numerous office buildings. In the center of Owings Mills was [[Owings Mills Mall]], an enclosed shopping mall. The mall, which opened in 1986, once featured more than 150 stores. The mall closed in 2015, and was completely demolished in March 2017. The former mall has since been redeveloped into Mill Station, which is a 620,000 sq ft retail development. The first retailer to open its doors in the new Mill Station was Costco, who hosted their ribbon cutting ceremony in October 2018.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Wood|first=Pamela|title=Costco to open Thursday at Mill Station in Owings Mills|url=https://www.capitalgazette.com/bs-md-co-costco-opens-20181017-story.html|access-date=2021-02-16|website=capitalgazette.com|language=en-US}}</ref> It is also within walking distance to the [[Metro Centre at Owings Mills|Metro Centre]], which holds the northern most stop on the [[Baltimore Metro SubwayLink|Baltimore Metro]], along with restaurants and shopping.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Owings Mills MD: Mill Station - Retail Space - Kimco Realty|url=https://properties.kimcorealty.com/properties/116780|access-date=2021-02-16|website=properties.kimcorealty.com}}</ref> Many nationally known organizations and businesses call Owings Mills home, including [[Blue Cross Blue Shield Association|CareFirst]], [[T.
