Originally opened in 1964, Westfield Century City was revitalized in 2017 with a $1-billion redesign, creating an essential Westside escape like no other, infusing the property’s design and decor with an authentic Southern California vibe. About 90 percent of the stores and restaurants were newly added as part of the two-year reimagining.

Westfield's flagship mall is a 1.3 million square-foot showcase for more than 200 luxury, contemporary and international designer brands, including a three-level Nordstrom featuring its latest design concepts; a completely remodeled three-level Bloomingdale’s, and a modern two-level Macy’s. The expansion included new dining options like the West Coast’s first Eataly, an Italian-focused food emporium; and the acclaimed Taiwanese soup dumpling chain, Din Tai Fung.

The mall has walkable plazas, tree-lined pathways, strolling gardens and cool green canopies. Nearly 100 types of specially made furniture, much of it made of wood, are along the walkways to invite visitors to linger.
