Editor’s note: This story was updated Saturday, Nov. 8, to clarify in the lead and headline that the mall is undergoing redevelopment but will not close.
After 40 years in the South Bay, the South Bay Galleria will be partly closing for a mixed-use redevelopment located near the Nordstrom wing and in the mall’s parking lots.
New owner Kennedy Wilson is demolishing part of the mall, which sits on 30 acres of land, to make way for a mixed-use property of retail space and residential units.
Plans include a constructing a three- to eight-story building with 350 apartments.
According to reporting by KTLA news, “At least 10% of the homes must be reserved for very low-income households, or 20% for low-income households, under city requirements.”
The Redondo Beach Planning Commission signed off Aug. 21 on Phase Two of the project.
“Redevelopment will be phased, meaning parts of the mall will stay open while construction unfolds,” former The Union reporter Maria Cornejo wrote in an article for Presence News.
A date for when redevelopment will begin has yet to be announced.
