Shopoff, AO Break Ground on Mixed-Use Redevelopment of Westminster Mall

Architecture firm AO broke ground on Bolsa Pacific at Westminster. Developed by Shopoff Realty Investments, the 83.3-acre mixed-use project replaces the former vacant Westminster Mall in Orange County with approximately 2,250 residential units, 220,000 square feet of retail, a 120-key hotel and more than 15 acres of publicly accessible open space. 

The development of Bolsa Pacific occurs as retail repositioning has become of the top real estate trends, with 46% of former malls being transformed into mixed-use environments, according to Capital One Shopping. AO is serving as the master planner and design architect for the residential and retail components.  

“Projects of this scale and importance require deep collaboration and a shared commitment to place-making,” said Shopoff Realty president and CEO Bill Shopoff. “Our partnership with AO has elevated the design of Bolsa Pacific and helped move the transformation of this site forward in a way that will deliver lasting value to the community.”
