Global shopping center group Westfield Corp. has completed the first phase of redevelopment in Terminal 1 at Los Angeles Airport, which introduces Southwest Airlines customers to a new retail and dining collection and an improved experience.
As part of a USD508 million overhaul spearheaded by Southwest and Los Angeles World Airports, Westfield is curating a dining and retail collection that will feature 24 world-class destinations and a reimagined experience with a hip, modern California feel.
The first of three phases features the opening of six exciting brands, including Rock & Brews — from KISS front men Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley — Be Relax, Brookstone, I Love L.A., Sol Surf and Treat Me Sweet.
In addition, Southwest is upgrading the customer gate areas, giving the terminal a fresh new look, while providing a more efficient customer experience.
The Terminal 1 overhaul was announced in September 2014 and is slated for completion in 2018. When finished, the Terminal 1 retail and dining collection will span 25,242 feet — nearly double that of the old terminal.
Westfield (ASX: WFD) is an internally managed, vertically integrated, shopping center group undertaking ownership, development, design, construction, funds/asset management, property management, leasing and marketing activities and employing approximately 2,000 staff worldwide.
