Developed by Community Research & Development Inc, headed by James W. Rouse and designed by architectural firm Rogers, Taliaferro, & Lamb, the fully enclosed and air-conditioned center, which was constructed at a cost of $10 million, was described as the first one of its kind on the east coast.

The primary "Garden Court" featured a 35-foot cage of "Mynah birds", along with a staircase leading to a balcony restaurant over top a fountain.

Twenty-year-old Joyce Malecki was last seen at the Harundale Mall on November 11, 1969; she was found dead two days later at a shooting range in Fort Meade, Maryland.
