Since James Rouse opened it in 1965, The Village of Cross Keys has remained a premier gathering place with boutique shops, eateries, and a variety of local businesses. Register here to join the Baltimore Architecture Foundation for a tour of the newly revitalized areas of this historic “see and be seen” meeting spot for people around Baltimore.

Cross Keys was originally developed in 1965 by Jim Rouse, the visionary founder of The Rouse Company. It’s a destination that evokes nostalgia and childhood memories—many know it as the place their mothers used to shop. Since the beginning, Cross Keys has served as an escape from the bustle of Baltimore, a tucked-away community off of I-83 that offers elevated shopping, dining, and family experiences for city and county residents alike.

The property was acquired by Baltimore-based Caves Valley Partners in July 2020.  Since then, Cross Keys has undergone major renovations to modernize its appearance and functionality and it is actively undergoing a comprehensive redevelopment, which will include the addition of over 300 apartments and new retail and office buildings.

Join us to view the refreshed and revitalized Cross Keys, learn about the new restaurant and retail businesses, and hear more about future developments. Following the tour, stay for a reception with food and drinks provided by our generous event sponsor.
