Nineteen months after the Palisades Fire, Pacific Palisades has reached another major milestone in its recovery. With the reopening of Palisades Village, the neighborhood's walkable town center is once again welcoming residents and visitors with a thoughtful mix of luxury retailers, longtime favorites and exciting new options. More than the return of a shopping and dining destination, it reflects renewed confidence in the future of Pacific Palisades and the businesses that have remained committed to rebuilding alongside it.
Envisioned by Rick Caruso as a modern neighborhood hamlet designed for gathering as much as shopping, the Village is reopening with nearly every storefront occupied. Returning favorites include Brunello Cucinelli, Veronica Beard, Zimmermann, Jennifer Meyer, A.L.C., Paige, Toteme, Cult Gaia and Reformation, alongside Blue Ribbon Sushi, Angelini, Alfred, Porta Via, McConnell's Fine Ice Cream and the Bay Theatre. Erewhon is expected to reopen in early 2027.
The Village also welcomes an exciting collection of newcomers. Elyse Walker's spectacular flagship now anchors one of its most prominent corners, while LESET opens its first standalone boutique alongside luxury beauty destination Violet Grey and California lifestyle brand Xirena. “As the community continues to rebuild and look ahead, we're proud to stand alongside our neighbors and celebrate the resilience and spirit that makes the Palisades so special,” says Sherif Guirgis, CEO of Violet Grey. Mother, the Los Angeles denim brand co-founded by westside resident Lela Becker, also makes its Village debut after its nearly completed boutique across Sunset Boulevard was destroyed in the fires. Loomey's Toys, the cherished neighborhood toy store that lost its Via de la Paz location, has found a new home here, while Ludus, the martial arts studio founded by longtime Palisades instructor James Gavsie and Rick Caruso's son, Justin Caruso, continues its investment in local families.
The culinary lineup is equally compelling. Legendary local chef Nancy Silverton brings her first westside restaurant, Spacca Tutto, to the Village, joined by Ueki by Blue Ribbon Sushi. "Los Angeles has such a strong community," Silverton says. "I'm honored to be a part of the future of the Palisades." Erewhon CEO Tony Antoci shares that optimism, calling the market's return "a meaningful way to contribute to the healing and renewal of this neighborhood."
Yet the Palisades' comeback extends well beyond the Village. Among the first businesses to reopen after the fires was Ruby Nails & Spa, which quickly became more than a neighborhood salon. It evolved into a gathering place where women reconnected, shared updates and supported one another through the difficult months that followed. Elizabeth Lamont reopened in November 2025 after her longtime home furnishings and design boutique survived the fire, even though she lost her own home. Today, she and her team are helping families furnish the houses they are rebuilding. "Our clients come in with smiles on their faces," she says. "They tell us their stories of loss and also of hope." Other neighborhood favorites soon followed. Canale-Martinez Salon reopened in January 2026, while BOCA welcomed customers back to its carefully curated women's boutique. "We love and care about this community so much," says Canale-Martinez co-founder Michael Canalé. "We wanted to help the best we could by being there for everyone."
Across Sunset Boulevard, jewelry designer Jaimie Geller has also returned. After losing her longtime Antioch Street boutique, she opened a beautiful new space just steps from Palisades Village. While rebuilding the home she lost, Geller designed the boutique to feel like one—a warm place where neighbors can gather and reconnect. "I want this to be a place for our community to relax and hang out while we support each other through this surreal experience," she says. Just down the block, Pali Trading Post represents an entirely new chapter. Founded by Palisades resident Michelle Murphy, the shop celebrates local makers and small businesses while preserving the character of the neighborhood. "If those of us who called the Palisades home before the fire don't help rebuild it, we risk losing the very character that made this community so special," Murphy says.
From luxury flagships and neighborhood institutions to entirely new concepts born from resilience, the reopening of Palisades Village marks far more than a return to business. It reflects a community investing in its future—and proving that rebuilding happens one storefront, one conversation and one neighbor at a time.
