Westfield Valencia Town Center has announced plans for interior renovations at the shopping
center, set to begin after the holiday season in the first quarter of 2019.

Inspired by the elevated ambiance 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.

“We are focused on modernizing Valencia Town Center, elevating the destination’s ambiance, and
providing our visitors a lifestyle experience perfectly attuned to the Santa Clarita Valley mindset,” said Corrine Barchanowicz, senior general manager of Westfield Valencia Town Center. “The new interior renovations will also help bridge our outdoor Patios district with Town Center Drive retail and restaurants to help create a more seamless overall experience.”

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.

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.
