Westfield Culver City

• 330,000 sf GLA expansion / $180 Million

• Multi-award winning project

The renovated and expanded Westfield Culver City is a bold new presence on the busy 405 freeway in Los Angeles and serves as a gateway to Culver City proper. Westfield Culver City’s transformation shows that turning around once troubled properties is not only possible, but vital to the well-being of the local community. The project goals were ambitious: bring the same energy and vitality found in downtown Culver City, supplant the image of a center suffering from years of neglect and perceived as dangerous, attract national retailers who had long dismissed the center as irrelevant to the market, and expand the customer base.

The expansion and renovation of Westfield Culver city including Target, a vibrant line-up of outward facing, full-service restaurants, a stunning new dining terrace, and unique amenities including family areas and public art installations. The expansion provided the opportunity to open up the old, inwardly focused mall to the exterior, creating a new public face for the project; its large glass window reveals the excitement and energy contained within. Throughout the interior, new paving, lighting elements, glass rails, and amenities bring a sparkle and freshness. Aesthetically, the crisp geometry, bold signage, glass, metal, and plaster are incorporated in a composition that reflects the context of current, forward-looking design in Southern California.
