Beverly Center – 1982

• For the next 20+ years Beverly Center was recognized as the dominant retail asset in West L.A. and thrived as the surrounding community prospered

Brief Market History
● Beverly Center was regarded as one of the top 10 regional mall assets in the country from its opening in 1982 through the early 2000’s
● Exclusive fashion-forward brands and unique entertainment concepts served as the foundation of the center’s merchandise mix
● Beverly Center underwent targeted renovations in 1994, following the Northridge earthquake, and in 2000 where several aspects of the center were updated
● The opening of The Grove with Nordstrom in 2002, the expansion of Century City with a flagship Bloomingdale’s in the same period, and improved merchandising on the surrounding street retail (Melrose & Robertson) put competitive pressure on the center
● In 2014, Westfield Century City began construction on its major redevelopment and expansion
● In March 2016, Taubman announced the comprehensive reimagination of Beverly Center, with a goal of maintaining and improving the center’s position in the market, while increasing the asset’s long-term viability in the face of new, expanded and rejuvenated competition
