History

The mall was originally developed by Bernard Manekin who converted the 1921 Maryland Casualty Insurance Co. building, designed by Otto Simonson, into a shopping center in 1971. [1] [2] The historic building's centerpiece is a bell tower which chimes the Westminster Quarters. It was renovated in 2002, [3] and again in 2014 by Hekemian & Co. The mall was bought by Hekemian & Co., Inc. in the early 2000s. Hekemian & Co has since completed its $100 million redevelopment of the site, which includes the 379 unit ICON residences at The Rotunda, shops and restaurants, and a "Mom's Organic Market". [4]

The Rotunda was the home to the popular reduced price cinema "The Rotunda Cinematheque" until July 2015. [5]

Current businesses

In 2019, plans were made for a Rita's Italian Ice location to open in one of the commercial spaces in the courtyard of the south side of the Rotunda, which opened in 2021.
