.History
In 1945, developer
Westlake opened on April 20, 1951, making it one of the earliest malls in America; at the time, its 3,000-car parking area was the largest in America.[6]: 40–43 It was also the first community shopping center in the Bay Area. Its open-air pedestrian promenades allowed the center to be used for outdoor concerts, art shows, fairs, dances, and other community events for many years.[7]
Doelger sold the Westlake Shopping Center in 1965.
In 2017 Kimco announced plans to add apartments above ground-level retail at Westlake.[10] Under those plans, a 6-story mixed-use building with 179 apartments on the upper floors would replace an existing 2-story commercial building and a 60-space parking lot; underground parking would be provided for 260 cars.[11][12] The proposed mixed-use building would replace the existing northeast corner of the Westlake site, near the intersection of John Daly Boulevard and Park Plaza Drive.[13] The developer has received permission for this plan.[14][15]
In 2018, it was announced that Kimco has plans to work to develop in housing at Daly City.[16]
