Two new opportunities are available as part of Westfield’s fourth and final competitive evaluation process of the redevelopment of Terminal 1 at Los Angeles International (LAX).
The final offer of the project includes 11,000 square feet of space for a future marketplace and cafe/coffee. For the food court Westfield is looking for “a blend of contemporary local flavors and sophisticated national brands.” Mexican, sandwich, Asian, burger and Mediterranean are recommended categories.
“This CEP is part of a $500 million modernization being spearheaded by Southwest Airlines,” says Keith Kaplan, Westfield’s vice president at LAX. “The T1 experience has undergone an unbelievable transformation, and Southwest has set the bar really high for what’s expected of this terminal. There are some big opportunities in this final CEP, and there’s already a buzz in the industry.”
To balance costs and encourage creativity, proposers for the marketplace offering have been given the option to either accept a Westfield-designed option or reimagine the space on their own.
Proposals are due on June 29, 2017.
