Palisades Village will reopen to the public on August 15, marking a major milestone in Pacific Palisades’ recovery more than 19 months after the shopping and dining center closed due to the devastating January 2025 Palisades Fire.

Restoration Efforts

The outdoor center survived the wildfire but sustained extensive smoke and water damage, requiring over $100 million in renovations and environmental remediation. Crews stripped portions of the property to the framing, treated wood, and replaced walls, insulation, air-conditioning ducts, and other materials before the center could reopen.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. on August 15, followed by the opening of stores at 11 a.m. Reopening-day activities will include retailer events, pop-ups, live entertainment, tastings, and family activities, with festivities scheduled to continue until 8 p.m.

New and Returning Businesses

The retail and dining center, which originally opened in 2018, was 99% leased as of early July. Most former tenants are returning, while about one-third of the businesses will be new to the property. Returning businesses include Erewhon, Blue Ribbon Sushi, Buck Mason, and Anine Bing, along with local businesses affected by the wildfire, including K Bakery and Loomey’s Toys.

New tenants include chef Nancy Silverton’s Italian steakhouse Spacca Tutto, the h.wood Group’s Alphabet Bar & Grill, beauty retailer Violet Grey, and activewear retailer LESET’s first West Coast location. PAIGE will also reopen its Palisades Village store, offering limited-edition Palisades Social Club merchandise, with proceeds benefiting Steadfast LA, a nonprofit supporting wildfire recovery efforts in Pacific Palisades, Malibu, and Altadena.
