Palisades Village Sets Mid-2026 Reopening After Fire

Palisades Village, a major shopping and dining hub in Pacific Palisades, is scheduled to reopen in mid-2026 after being mostly spared by the recent Palisades Fire due to private firefighting efforts. Developer Rick Caruso will privately fund the revitalization, which includes new landscaping, sidewalks, lighting, and a redesigned public park. Elyse Walker, whose flagship store was lost in the fire, will anchor the reopened center with her boutique, underscoring renewed confidence in the area's recovery. The annual Christmas tree and menorah lighting celebrations will return this year to foster community spirit ahead of the full reopening. Caruso and his team are also supporting recovery efforts in other fire-impacted areas such as Malibu and Altadena. Community leaders see these initiatives as encouraging other businesses and residents to return, sparking economic and social revitalization.
