Overview

• Plans call for Palisades Village, the community’s largest shopping complex, to reopen in mid-2026 following destruction by the January wildfire.
• Elyse Walker confirmed her flagship elysewalker boutique, lost in the blaze on Jan. 7, will reemerge as the village’s marquee tenant in spring or summer 2026.
• Rick Caruso said he will resume annual holiday events, including the Christmas tree and Menorah lighting, later this year to revive local traditions.
• Caruso also pledged to underwrite streetscape upgrades—funding new landscaping and pedestrian sidewalks around the shopping center.
• Residents and local leaders view the reopening as a catalyst for broader investment and a restored gathering place for families displaced by the fire.
