Klein Enterprises, a Baltimore-area commercial real estate firm, announced the transformation of Yorktowne Plaza, a shopping and dining destination in the small community of Cockeysville in northern Baltimore County. 

According to Klein, which acquired the shopping plaza in 2022, the reimagined retail complex “has emerged as a modern, energetic hub with new tenants, upgraded amenities, and a leading-edge design.”

Klein said it invested approximately $15 million toward redevelopment of the Yorktowne Plaza property, with expected improvements including a full façade renovation, a newly constructed multi-tenant building fronting York Road, a redesigned layout, an upgraded parking lot, and additional amenities like more than a dozen Tesla Supercharger stations.

Some of the shopping center‘s new tenants preparing to open include:

• Yorktowne Social, an establishment featuring dining, entertainment and gathering spaces, is opening next month.
• Bricks & Minifigs, a retailer catering to LEGO® enthusiasts of all ages, is expected to hold itsd grand opening on Sept. 6.
• A drive-thru Dunkin’, Panda Express, IHOP and QDOBA, are other recent additions to the plaza that have become fixtures, Klein said in a release.

• Back Nine, an indoor golf simulator for players of all skill levels, recently signed a lease with Klein, as did Behavioral Innovations, a provider of therapy services for children with autism.

“We’re thrilled to see our vision for Yorktowne Plaza taking shape and gaining momentum,” said Devin Gerhart, director of asset management at Klein Enterprises. 

“This center has always been a community fixture, and we’re proud to bring it into a new era with offerings that serve today’s consumer while creating a vibrant and welcoming space for the Cockeysville community.”
