SAN DIEGO — One of San Diego County’s most popular outdoor shopping malls is expanding, again.
Westfield UTC announced the start of its expansion that will bring brand-new luxury stores, fine dining and amenities to the mall located near La Jolla.
The mall’s expansion will happen at the site of the former Nordstrom store that previously occupied the space before it was demolished in 2022.
The expansion is set for completion in 2026 and Westfield UTC said there will be no impact on the mall’s operations
“This expansion will elevate the already exceptional experience at Westfield UTC, and reflects our continued commitment to creating extraordinary, sustainable places where people can connect through meaningful shared experiences,” said Ryan Perry, senior general manager, Westfield UTC.
New designer boutiques and two globally inspired restaurants on La Jolla Village Drive will also join Westfield UTC’s dining collection. The mall will also add an additional valet near the new stores and restaurants.
“Westfield UTC is a one-of-a-kind lifestyle destination that continues to build on its longstanding legacy to deliver one of the best customer experiences in California. This project presents an exciting opportunity to unlock the full potential of the former Nordstrom space, adding something completely fresh for our guests and ensuring its continued positive impact in the community,” said Kim Brewer, senior vice president of development for Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield in the U.S.
