Westfield Valencia Town Center is debuting Shops at The Patios today, part of the highly anticipated expansion project that will ultimately encompass over 200,000 square feet adding a new outdoor shopping component to the mall.
According to Westfield:
On Wednesday, November 18, Westfield Valencia Town Center will debut Shops at The Patios, an integral component of the center’s revitalization and expansion which will be unveiled through Fall 2010. The expansion encompasses approximately 234,000 square feet, and includes enticing new open-air elements such as lush landscaping, sparkling water features, community fireplaces, elegant patios, verandas and ‘al fresco’ style dining.
Westfield also announced the following stores opening today:
BCBG Max Azria, Brighton Collectibles, En Ciel Jewelry, Parc 81, Tous, Yankee Candle, Lazy Dog Café (late November).
Many more stores will be opening in December and into 2010.
Work progresses on the last phase of the City’s Cross Valley Connector which will be complete in Spring 2010. On Tuesday, November 17, the next level of concrete was poured onto the surface of the bridge.
Work for the concrete pour began before dawn on the Cross Valley Connector bridge that will connect Newhall Ranch Road to Golden Valley Road near Soledad Canyon.
The massive amount of concrete being poured onto the bridge deck requires a lot of care to make sure it hardens and is applied correctly.
Once the concrete is poured and level, material is paced over the concrete to ensure it doesn’t dry to quickly which would cause it to crack.
