“The Bay’s return represents another important milestone for the Pacific Palisades community and the continued resurgence of Palisades Village,” developer Rick Caruso and Paramount said in a statement reported by nypost.com.
Pacific Palisades is rising from the ashes with a wave of business reopenings less than two years after a wildfire devastated the town. Ultra-luxe club Equinox will officially reopen its Palisades location on Dec. 15, according to nypost.com.
The club has been closed since the January 2025 wildfire torched much of the neighborhood. When the fires hit, the former Palisades Equinox was barely a year old after first opening in December 2024.
The newly minted facility at 17383 Sunset Boulevard will feature updated workout spaces, a members’ lounge, strength training floor, lockers, shower rooms, and a group fitness studio. Pilates and personal training will also be offered at the rebuilt location.
The new Equinox joins other neighborhood businesses reopening after a $100 million restoration of the Palisades Village shopping center in August. The commercial hub was 99% leased upon reopening, introducing 40 new businesses, a third of which are brand new tenants.
Returning businesses include clothing stores Zimmermann, Brunello Cucinelli, Buck Mason, and Anine Bing. Celebrity chef Nancy Silverton opened Spacca Tutto, a new modern Italian steakhouse, on Oct. 15, while Chef Timothy Hollingsworth reopened Alphabet Bar & Grill at the village in August.
In developer Rick Caruso’s Palisades Village shopping center, the Bay Theater will reopen Friday, Nov. 15 with new seating and dining options. Run by Paramount Pictures, Caruso, and dine-in theater company THE LOT, the new theater features five auditoriums with immersive surround sound and laser projection.
The new seats feature adjustable foot, back, head and neck rests, USB charging, personal dining tables, and buttons guests can press to order food and drink.
Local toy store Loomey’s Toys is also preparing to reopen on Saturday, Nov. 14. Influencer-loved grocer Erewhon has set its reopening in the Palisades Village for January 2027.
