URW Launches Expansion of Westfield UTC; Completion Set for 2026
Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield (URW) has launched construction on an expansion of its Westfield UTC open-air shopping center in La Jolla. The retail owner-developer plans to add new-to-market luxury boutiques, two more fine dining options and amenities on the site of the former Nordstrom department store, which was demolished in 2022.
URW did not say how much the expansion would cost to build. It’s scheduled to open in phases beginning 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,” said Ryan Perry, senior general manager of Westfield UTC.
The company said construction will have no impact on operations of the existing mall.
