Big new mall for the Valley

Westfield plans to erect a $750 million outdoor retail complex connecting the Topanga and Promenade malls in Woodland Hills. Included in The Village will be a 300-room hotel, 150 condominiums and apartments, offices, and 550,000 square feet of shops and restaurants. The three malls together are expected to be larger than South Coast Plaza in Orange County and Del Amo Fashion Center in Torrance, making it perhaps the largest in Southern California.
