Westfield Century City
Since Westfield acquired this open-air shopping center in 2002, it's undergone a massive $150-million renovation in an attempt to revitalize this lackluster location into the area's premier shopping, dining, and entertainment destination. Along with a sorely needed face-lift, Westfield added 30 new shops, 7 new restaurants, a new flagship 15-screen AMC movie theater, and 260 luxury condominiums. Anchored by
Macy's and
Bloomingdale's department stores, it's located on what was once a 20th Century Fox back lot, just west of Beverly Hills. Among the nearly 200 offerings are
Ann Taylor, J. Crew, bebe, and
Crocs.
