"Most of the shops in the mall will shut down on Oct. 29 when leases expire, according to Westminster City Manager Christine Cordon. The City Council approved a redevelopment plan in 2022 to turn the mall into a mixed-use site for housing, leisure and retail. The 100-acre property, situated on the south side of the 405 Freeway, could soon offer 3,000 housing units and at least 600,000 square feet of upscale retail space."
"The city's Westminster Mall Specific Plan also sets aside more than 9 acres for parks and recreation. "The community has expressed a strong desire to revitalize this important commercial center," the redevelopment plan says. "The project site provides a unique opportunity to reposition the mall into the thriving activity center that it once was and to accommodate the future growth of the city.""

JCPenney is slated to close by Nov. 21, while Best Buy and Target are expected to remain open for several years during redevelopment. Community members gathered for farewell events and social media memorials as many storefronts sit empty.
