The Westside Pavilion is a former shopping mall located in West Los Angeles, California, United States.

[2] Formerly acting as landlord and developer in a joint venture with the previous owner, The Macerich Company, it was going to be renamed One Westside with offices for Google.

[3] The former Macy's department store was converted into a center for tech and entertainment tenants called West End.

[6] The plans to build the mall caused an uproar from the surrounding community over concerns of increased traffic and parking on the street.

[8] The addition to the Westside Pavilion opened in 1991 despite criticism from many, including Los Angeles mayor Tom Bradley, The addition, officially known as "Westside Too", opened up with great fanfare and was very popular for the first couple of years, but its popularity soon began to decline as clients favored the original part of the mall.

The original part of the mall was renovated in 2000 with the installation of carpeted seating areas and German limestone flooring to give it a more contemporary and upscale look.

The new addition complex, which was designed by the architectural firms F+A Architects and PleskowRael, featured the largest movie theater in the U.S. showing exclusively independent films - with 12-screens and 2,000 total seats.

[8] The "Living Room" concept featured smaller capacity theaters (30-50 people) with sofas, ottomans, side-tables and other home-like amenities.

In late 2008, a group of animal rights activists began peaceful protests in Westside Pavilion against a pet store called BarkWorks, which they alleged was a retailer for puppy mills.

The appellate court held that Macerich's restrictions (blackout days and not protesting directly in front of the targeted tenant) were unreasonable as a matter of law, and reversed and remanded for further proceedings.

In early 2015, Nordstrom announced it would relocate its Westside Pavilion store to Westfield Century City, a competing shopping center less than two miles away.

[17][18] In late December 2023, the University of California, Los Angeles announced a deal to purchase the property which is located 2 miles (3.2 km) south of the Westwood campus.
