Westfield Topanga[1] is ashopping mall in theCanoga Park neighborhood ofLos Angeles, California. It has 1,588,050 square feet (147,535 m2) ofgross leasable area and featuresNordstrom,Macy's,Neiman Marcus, andTarget. The mall has been owned by Westfield-affiliated companies since 1993, and has been owned by the present-dayUnibail-Rodamco-Westfield since 2017.[2]
Opened on February 10, 1964, Topanga Plaza was one ofCalifornia's first major enclosed shopping malls.[3] The original anchors wereMay Company,Montgomery Ward, andThe Broadway. The "Rain Fountain" on the south end consisted of several circular arrays of vertical monofilament lines stretching from the ceiling to a raised landscaped area on the floor. The effect of the rain was created by droplets of recirculated glycerine slowly descending along the wetted lines.[4]
An indoor ice skating rink,Ice Capades Chalet,[5] was located on the first floor of the southern section of the mall, surrounded by the original food court. The ice skating rink was closed in the late 1970s.
In April 1984,Nordstrom opened as the mall's fourth anchor.
In 1992, the original developerMay Centers, Inc., was renamedCenterMark Properties and was sold by parent companyMay Department Stores in 1993 to a consortium led by Westfield Holdings, Ltd., a predecessor ofWestfield Group.[citation needed]
In 1993, the May Company store becameRobinsons-May. Three years later, The Broadway shuttered. As a result,Sears retrofitted the outpost and relocated from its nearbyFallbrook Center mall.
In 2001, Montgomery Ward shuttered as a result of the chain ending operations.
In 2005, Nordstrom relocated on the Sears side of the mall. Alongside, the Wards store was razed, replacing it with a two-storyTarget store, which opened a year later on October 6, 2006.[6][7]
In 2006, Robinsons-May becameMacy's, and Target opened.
In 2008,Neiman Marcus opened as its fifth anchor, which replaced the original Nordstrom store.[8]
On January 28, 2015, it was announced Sears would shutter as part of an ongoing decision to eliminate its traditional brick-and-mortar format.[9]

In September 2015, Westfield opened a major expansion of Westfield Topanga, called The Village at Westfield Topanga. The open-air shopping destination was located alongTopanga Canyon Boulevard, and sits between the Westfield Topanga and the largely-inactivePromenade mall.[10][11] The Village was purchased in January 2023 for $325 million by Rams owner Stan Kroenke, bringing his total property ownership in Warner Center to 100 acres (40 ha). The Village, since renamedTopanga Village, will continue to operate as an open-air lifestyle and retail destination. The Promenade mall and a former Anthem office building are being redeveloped into theRams Village at Warner Center which is their headquarters and practice facility.[12]
In 2020, the Islands restaurant, which had been located at two different locations of the mall, lost its lease and closed its doors.[13][further explanation needed]
Westfield turned the previous Sears outpost into an entertainment district featuring a new food hall named "Topanga Social,"[14] a retail center, and 12-screenAMC Theatre.[15][16] The theater, dubbed "AMC DINE-IN Topanga 12", opened on June 2, 2022.[17] Some food options include bacon chicken mac & cheese bowl, chicken cobb salad, royal bacon brie burger, chocolate hazelnut churros, and mega milkshakes, which are cooked on the premises and delivered directly to the patron's assigned seating area.[18]
By 2023, after thegovernment lockdown, Westfield Topanga had announced several newest additions, among them areHermès,Levis,Bottega Veneta,Dior,Saint Laurent,Swatch,Celine,Uniqlo,FYE, andAbercrombie & Fitch.[19]
The Owensmouth Garage in the east entrance to the mall connects to Blaze Pizza, Nordstrom and Gyu-Kaku and in 2015, the 5th level became staff parking. Next to it is an additional parking lot that connects Target and Macy's. Facing Topanga Canyon Blvd., an additional enclosed parking lot is available which connects Red Robin, and Total Woman Gym and Spa. There is also a large outdoor parking lot available which connects to Level 2's North Italia (formerly Forever XXI) and The Cheesecake Factory. The Village, across the street from Victory Blvd., has paid 90 minute parking facing Topanga Cyn. Blvd., and an enclosed 5 story parking structure with dedicated Costco (Mezzanine) parking along with 4 additional lots. Valet services are offered throughout both the Westfield Topanga and Village properties along with car detailing services.
