Less than two years after the town was devastated by a wildfire, Pacific Palisades is rising from the ashes with a wave of business reopenings.
Ultra-luxe club Equinox will officially reopen its Palisades location on Dec. 15. The club has been closed since the January 2025 wildfire that torched much of the neighborhood.
The newly minted club at 17383 Sunset Boulevard will feature a members’ lounge, strength training floor, lockers, shower rooms, and a group fitness studio.
Pilates and personal training will also be offered at the new location. When the fires hit, the former Palisades Equinox was barely a year old, first opening in December 2024.
The new Equinox is part of the ongoing revitalization of the neighborhood’s businesses. In developer Rick Caruso’s Palisades Village shopping center, the Bay Theater will reopen Friday, Nov. 15 with new seating and dining options.
Run by Paramount Pictures, Caruso, and dine-in theater company THE LOT, the new Bay Theater will feature five auditoriums with immersive surround sound and laser projection.
The new seats will feature adjustable foot, back, head and neck rests, USB charging, personal dining tables, and buttons you can press to order food and drink.
“The Bay’s return represents another important milestone for the Pacific Palisades community and the continued resurgence of Palisades Village. The theater will once again serve as a place for neighbors, families and film lovers to come together,” Caruso and Paramount said in a statement.
In August, the Palisades Village shopping center reopened following a $100 million restoration. The commercial hub was 99% leased upon reopening, introducing 40 new businesses, a third of which are brand new tenants.
Returning businesses include clothing stores Zimmermann, Brunello Cucinelli, Buck Mason and Anine Bing.
On the restaurant front, celebrity chef Nancy Silverton opened Spacca Tutto, a new modern Italian steakhouse, on Oct. 15. From Chef Timothy Hollingsworth, Alphabet Bar & Grill reopened at the village in August.
Local toy store Loomey’s Toys is also preparing to reopen on Saturday, Nov. 14, while influencer-loved grocer Erewhon has set its reopening in the Palisades Village for January 2027.
