Westfield Century City will welcome a new three-level, approximately 149,000-square-foot Nordstrom store in 2017 as part of an $800-million redevelopment of the outdoor shopping mall, according to a statement from Nordstrom, Inc. today.
Nordstrom, Inc. will relocate its Westside Pavilion full-line store to Century City, nearly doubling its amount of specialty retail square footage. Nordstrom will continue serving customers at its current location at Westside Pavilion until it relocates.
“We are grateful for the nearly 30 years we’ve been able to serve customers in West Los Angeles in our current location but we believe we can offer customers a better shopping experience in a new store that will include our latest design concepts,” said Jamie Nordstrom, president of stores for Nordstrom. “We’re excited to join Westfield Century City, a truly exciting shopping and entertainment destination.”
Greg Miles, Westfield U.S. Chief Operating Officer, said the company was delighted to welcome Nordstrom to Westfield Century City.
“The addition of Nordstrom elevates the ongoing revitalization of the center which includes the seamless integration of new first-to-market and luxury boutiques for the world’s finest retailers, innovative restaurants and streetside cafes created by celebrated chefs, and cutting-edge technologies that revolutionize the modern shopping experience.”
Nordstrom opened its first store in Southern California in 1978 at South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa and opened at Westside Pavilion in 1985. The Company operates 22 Nordstrom stores in Southern California and 25 Nordstrom Rack stores from Santa Barbara to San Diego. Its online private sale business HauteLook is headquartered in Los Angeles and the Company operates two distribution facilities to support its business in San Bernardino and Ontario.
