The development now occupies an area that was primarily parking lots located between East Joppa Road, Delaware, Virginia, and East Pennsylvania avenues. The developer intended to incorporate into a planned park an existing, an historic cemetery that borders on Shealy Avenue.^[5] Shealy Avenue crosses roughly through the center of the development's property.

On Thursday, July 10, 2014, Cinemark officially opened its 15 screen movie theater at Towson Square as part of its 30-year anniversary celebrations.^[6] The theater featured Cinemark's then newest concept, a reserve level where people could actually reserve specific luxury seats in a special area and have an expanded food selection and alcoholic beverages. It also features Cinemark's NextGen concept that has been described as offering "the latest technology and amenities under one roof."^[7] The Baltimore Sun reported that the Towson Cinemark theater is Cinemark's official international flagship movie theater, replacing its former international flagship location in Dallas, Texas, United States.

In 2014, Towson Square was sold to Retail Properties of America Inc ^[8] for $40.5 million, thus allowing them to integrate the development adjacent into one entity called Circle East.^[9]

Current tenants are Cinemark and Nando's.^{[citation needed]}
