Herberto Alanis (center, holding scissors) is joined by Carroll County officials, local business leaders and executives from Black Oak Associates for the official ribbon-cutting ceremony of Eldersburg Commons, a 300,000 square foot retail shopping center that the company recently redeveloped with a $60 million investment. Formerly known as Carrolltown Mall, the project is located at 6400 Ridge Road in Eldersburg.

Since initiating the redevelopment in fall 2013, Black Oak has attracted seventeen new retailers to Eldersburg Commons comprising approximately 275,000 square feet of space and bringing the center to nearly 100% occupancy. The project consists of a large retail section anchored by the 190,000 square foot Walmart Supercenter, which opened last fall, as well as four free-standing retail buildings and three pad sites. Walmart offers a variety of products, including a full line of groceries, electronics and a pharmacy.

In addition to Walmart, new tenants that will be open for the June 16 grand opening include AT&T, Chipotle, Dental Care at Eldersburg Commons, Jimmy John’s, MOD Pizza, Noodles & Co., Olympia Sports, PETCO, Sleepy’s, TJ Maxx, Ulta and The Vitamin Shoppe. Additional new tenants that are expected to open in the near future include Hair Cuttery, Luxury Nails & Spa, Menchie’s Frozen Yogurt, and Sunny’s Fine Wines & Liquors.
