1940 - NYC premiere of "The Marines Fly High" starring Lucille Ball, filmed in Placerita Canyon [story] Marines Fly High


Inspired by the elevated ambience enjoyed at the property’s highly successful outdoor Patios district and along Town Center Drive, the new interior renovation will focus on enhancing the customer experience with new flooring, lighting, landscaping and furniture throughout, upgraded restrooms, and a renovated food court.

Announced in November 2018, the $20 million renovation project will also include a new signature children’s play space and a second family lounge area to offer families added convenience and enjoyment as they move through the center between Town Center Drive and the Patios.
In addition, enhancements to the entry at Town Center Drive – including a new façade and awnings – will provide a more inviting welcome to guests from the outside to come inside and explore.

All stores will remain open during the renovations which are anticipated to be complete before the end of 2019. Valencia Town Center will provide renovation progress updates via their Facebook and Instagram social media accounts.

Since the acquisition of Valencia Town Center, Westfield (now Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield) has continually invested in the property to provide an exceptional, modern experience. Examples have included the addition of the aforementioned Patios district, which brought Apple, Lululemon, Brighton Collectibles, first-class dining and other strong first-to-market brands to the Santa Clarita Valley. More recently, upgrades to the entertainment and dining offering included the addition of The Canyon – Santa Clarita, The Cheesecake Factory, The Dudes’ Brewing Company and Saddle Ranch Chop House.

    It seems like a lot of money to spruce the Mall up. Maybe they could be more creative while spending less on the renovation. The patio inclusion is nice but why so much money to make it?

  2. Jeanne Marten says:

    The Christmas decorations inside the mall were boring and sparse. There was no “magic”. The translucent decorations hung were too bland. It used to be fun to go to mall and see the decorations, music, sit and have a coffee and shop. Past few years it has been BORING!

  3. Byron says:

    Meanwhile, they jack up the rent so high that stores have to raise their prices or go out of business entirely– as they forced Sisley Italian Kitchen to do, putting the 30-year family-run business and ALL their workers out of business.

    Yet they have money for this $20 million unneeded renovation.
