Manhattan Village Mall Progress and Revenue
Oct. 14, 2019
The revamped mall is expected to generate more tax dollars to the city. The mall currently generates roughly $3.1 million in sales tax to the city, a number the owner expects to jump by 12.2 percent with the renovations. The city’s largest commercial site also pays $1.9 million in real estate taxes, estimated to increase by nearly $200,000 annually.
Manhattan Village plans to follow trends by adding 53,300 square feet of open-air dining and outdoor retail space in what’s called The Village Shops. The building housing California Pizza Kitchen will be demolished and a new structure built slightly to the north, opening the main entrance leading to the new outdoor plaza by 2019.As a South Bay resident working in Los Angeles, Don Ziss drove past the Manhattan Village mall along Sepulveda Boulevard many times knowing the property was not meeting its potential. Ziss is now in the driver’s seat to deliver change to the ailing property after being named last week the general manager of the 44-acre, 573,000 square-foot mall for real estate management company JLL. “I always thought to myself, the mall had a ton of potential,” said Ziss, who worked for 13 years for Westfield Corporation. “I knew there were development plans on the way, so when an opportunity came ... it was a rare chance to serve the community and make a direct impact.”
The mall is currently in the midst of a $180 million redevelopment project slated for completion by 2020. First approved in 2014, construction did not begin until January 2017 due to a lawsuit over the Environmental Impact Report, which was later resolved.

"The High Price Of Freedom." Veterans, like myself, who did the jobs we had in the military during wartime are very aware of the high price of Freedom. Medics and Graves Registration people like myself who saw it everyday, myself, for every day for eleven months in WW II in the European Theater of Operations. We handled over 75,000 bodies of dead soldiers---American and German---while initiating seventeen temporary cemeteries in France, Belgium and Germany. I know the High Price of Freedom==first hand. A tough job for me! I was eighteen and nineteen years old weighing 112 pounds. A skinny nervous kid! |
