WESTFIELD UTC’S
LUXURY EVOLUTION
EXCLUSIVE LUXURY COLLECTION & CHEF-DRIVEN DINING
Westfield UTC, San Diego's premier lifestyle destination is underway with a development project that will add new, first-to-market luxury boutiques and chef-led restaurants to the center along with enhanced amenities, sustainability features, community gathering places, and greenspaces. The nearly 70,000 square foot expansion will further the center's position as one of the most significant luxury and designer shopping destinations in Southern California. The new Westfield UTC will feature a thoughtfully curated collection of over a dozen luxury brands, along with two globally inspired restaurants located on La Jolla Village Drive that will expand the center's existing signature dining collection. An additional valet adjacent to the new precinct will provide guests a convenient, seamless arrival.
SUSTAINABILITY MEETS STYLE
The project is being developed on the former Nordstrom site and adjacent wing of shops, with no impact to the center's existing operations. With the new development, Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield (URW) will pursue LEED certification, incorporating innovative, sustainable building strategies using renewable energy, natural materials, biophilic design, and biodiversity to enhance Westfield UTC's environmental, social, and economic contributions to the local community.
RESHAPING HOW PEOPLE LIVE, SHOP & PLAY
As an outdoor destination, the design of the expansion will be inspired by resort-like experience throughout the center, and the beautiful and refined architectural legacy of La Jolla. Breezy concourses accented with lush landscaping, richly detailed paving, and intimate groups of modern furnishings will provide guests with a wide range of opportunities to rest and recharge.
Work on the expansion began in April 2024, with a phased opening starting in early 2026.
"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.”
-Ryan Perry, Senior General Manager of Westfield UTC
