FLASH  As we speak Redondo Beach is filing suit to block Nordstrom from moving to Torrance.

Announced recently are plans to renovate and further develop the north and west sides of Del Amo Fashion Center beginning in 2013. The owners of the mall; Simon Property Group and J.P. Morgan announced their plans on December 11th along with Torrance Mayor Scotto. Nordstrom will be moving into the mall when all renovations are completed between 2013 and 2017.. Nordstrom will be moving from their present location in the South Bay Galleria. The exterior of the mall will be remodeled and re designed, the food court will be completely renovated into a garden environment, many parking spaces added along with other improvements. The older buildings on the west side of the mall will be torn down and replaced with the new home for Nordstrom. The goal is to return the mall to its former title of the biggest shopping center in the nation. The new mall is expected to add an additional $2-$3M in revenues for the city of Torrance when completed.
