Developer Rick Caruso hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony Saturday morning before stores opened to the public at 11 a.m. The reopening festivities included retailer events, pop-up shops, live entertainment, food tastings, and family activities.
Although the outdoor center survived the initial wildfire using fire-resistant materials and private firefighters, it sustained extensive smoke and water damage.
Crews were forced to strip portions of the property down to the framing, replacing walls, insulation, air-conditioning ducts, and other materials to prepare the site for safely welcoming back visitors.
The retail and dining center reopens 99% leased. About two-thirds of former tenants are returning, including Erewhon, Blue Ribbon Sushi, Buck Mason, Anine Bing, and fire-affected local businesses such as K Bakery and Loomey’s Toys.
Fashion designer Elyse Walker is also opening a namesake store at the center after her flagship location on Antioch Street was destroyed in the fire.
New tenants joining the property include chef Nancy Silverton’s Italian steakhouse Spacca Tutto, the h.wood Group’s Alphabet Bar & Grill, beauty retailer Violet Grey, and activewear retailer LESET’s first West Coast location.
To facilitate the reopening, Caruso invested millions of dollars into infrastructure improvements on and near Sunset Boulevard.
These public-private collaborations with the city included repairing damaged roads, painting crosswalks and curbs, and fixing broken streetlights.
