The Hawthorne Mall Reinvented & Carson slated to get outlets
The Hawthorne Plaza mall has been closed since 1999. This week, the Hawthorne Planning Commission accepted a proposal from mall owners Charles Company to demolish it and put in its place a kind of outdoor mall/luxury residential combination. This isn’t the first time a revival of the mall site has been proposed. Three other plans have been floated over the years.
This latest redevelopment blueprint includes what the mall owners are calling a “power center” (which seems to just be an outdoor mall), office space, and residential units atop the compound’s “walkable outdoor retail strips.” Courtyards and parks would be interspersed throughout the retail area and on rooftops. In all, the new development would hold 600 residences, 500,000 square feet of space for retail, 800,000 square feet of office space, and almost 5,900 parking spots for cars.
This isn’t the first time a revival of the mall site has been proposed. disappointments included an unsuccessful push for SpaceX to move in and an failed move to build an outlet mall (now slated to rise on the Carson site that didn’t become an NFL football stadium).
