Historic Landmark
Originally built in 1931, Highland Park Village was billed as the country’s first self-contained, open-air shopping center and was declared a National Historic Landmark in 2000. It represents a pivotal point in the evolution of the shopping centers that transitions from main street to the shopping malls that we know today. The Village is viewed as the first planned shopping center in the United States with a unified architectural style. The Village includes more than 70 tenants, including world-class luxury retail and was built by the developers as a town square. Many of the tenants are exclusive to Highland Park Village making the site a retail destination, including Hermes.
We’re trying to make Highland Park Village an international brand name. We want to be the Rodeo Drive in this market.
- 7 Buildings
- 70+ Tenants
- 8 Decades of History

The design theme throughout the site is a unique Mediterranean Spanish-style architecture. The historic buildings at HP Village have gone through renovations and expansions of various scales. With each unique project throughout the property, our primary goal is to make it seem like we were never there.

Finding a Fit for Food
At the heart of Highland Park Village, we underwent a renovation and expansion for a new restaurant and office space on the second floor. The space was not ADA compliant and needed an elevator. With no space for an elevator on the interior of the building, there needed to be an exterior add-on. The new design provides a terraced entrance that can be used for events and a clock tower that houses the new elevator connecting the two spaces. Parking was also provided in a below grade parking garage.

2020 Renovation
Designed in 1966, Building G was added for additional commercial space and banking facilities. The building never expressed the architectural intent of the center and was noted as a noncontributing element to the National Historic Landmark Nomination. The new Building G blends seamlessly with The Village’s unique style. The renovation converted the third-floor office space into a luxury private social club and an outdoor rooftop dining terrace. The second floor was converted from office to retail, and the first-floor retail occupants remained operational throughout the design and construction process.

The lobby now serves as the arrival for shoppers and club-members alike and responds to both uses through unique materials, finishes, and custom vitrine displays. The space’s warm tones and timeless materials speak to the classic nature of the Village’s architecture, while the contemporary FF&E program creates a seamless flow to the social club above.
