4. WESTSIDE PAVILION MACY’S – OFFICE PROJECT
Westside Pavilion Macy’s Adapted
Ready for Reuse as Office and Work Space
Developer GPI Companies and architect HLW have announced that the modernization and adaptive reuse of the former Westside Pavilion Macy’s is now complete and ready for its second life as a modern office campus. While most of the facade was replaced with glass, the prominent arches were preserved to reflect the former use of the building.
The project now features an open-air courtyard and many interior lobbies, balconies, and access to natural light. In addition to all of this, many seismic upgrades to the building and landscaping upgrades to the property were completed. Modernization and adaptive reuse of other portions of the Westside Pavillion are still ongoing.
