Big economic news for the city of Redondo Beach came out of this week's City Council meeting with Austrailian developer Queensland Investment Corporation (QIC), who purchased the languishing mall in December 2017. After multiple meetings over the past year, the Council approved the modifications to greenlight design and construction, slated for completion in just four years, in 2023.

Originally constructed in the 1950's, with updates in the 1980's, the mall had become a relic with anchor Nordstrom moving out in 2015. The City of Redondo Beach recognizes the economic need and potential of this space, which was once a major source of revenue for the City, and has worked diligently to move the progress along, taking into account locals challenging traffic issues, housing density and school admissions increases that come with the new residences. If done right, this could elevate residential real estate in the El Nido, Villas North and Villas South neighborhoods that border the area off of Inglewood and Artesia Boulevards, with strong walkability to great restaurants and new outdoor spaces for families to enjoy.

The $900 million revitalization includes a mixed use space over 30+ acres, including:

  • current mall will remain in-tact with new office space added

  • 150 room hotel, non-discount caliber and with meeting space for community use

  • 300 apartment units, offering at least 20% of affordable housing

  • 5+ acres of public open space and parks

  • 8,000 square foot skate park

  • $2 million ear-marked for art-related improvements along Artesia Boulevard

The approval allows for a 30-day period where the development can be challenged. Design will commence after that time, and construction is estimated to be a 30 month endeavor.
