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.

The Rotunda was the home to the popular reduced price cinema "The Rotunda Cinematheque" until July 2015. [4]

Future Plans

Hekemian & Co is nearing completion of its $100 million redevelopment of the site, which include the 379 unit ICON residences at The Rotunda, shops and restaurants, and a "Mom's Organic Market".[5]

gollark: What? It's the relay, you don't need the relay bit for that.
gollark: No addons, really, since it's developed as a monolith onto which I add features as needed.
gollark: What?
