Los Angeles — Taubman Centers Inc. (NYSE: TCO) has unveiled plans for a $500 million renovation at Beverly Center, an 886,000-square-foot shopping mall located on Beverly Boulevard in Los Angeles.
Renovations will include new skylights, a new exterior with a perforated steel façade, a state-of-the-art smart parking system and a new streetscape with refreshed landscaping.
Taubman also plans to develop a row of street-level restaurants along West Third Street with an additional valet for quick access to the new dining options, and a multi-concept gourmet food hall called THE STREET by Chef Michael Mina on the center’s eighth floor.
Upon completion, the center will also feature a refreshed tenant mix and a flexible center court featuring a large LED screen, places to sit and room for exhibitions and installations.
“In re-envisioning Beverly Center, we are looking to create LA’s signature urban shopping and dining experience, as well as an exciting, pedestrian-friendly anchor to one of the most creative and diverse neighborhoods in the world,” says Robert Taubman, CEO and president of Taubman Centers. “The center is a key asset in our portfolio, and after renovation we believe it will become one of the top ten retail centers in the nation.”
