The current owners are Federal Realty Investment Trust, who also own Santana Row and Old Town Center in Los Gatos.
Facilities
Westgate Center, located in San Jose, California is a 645,000 square foot center offering a one-stop destination for shopping, dining and entertainment.
Westgate Center features a multitude of shops and restaurants including Nike Factory Store, Michaels, Target, Nordstrom Rack, Burlington Coat Factory, Ross, Old Navy, Buffalo Wild Wings, and more.
Westgate Center offers brand name merchandise at a great value each and every day. Our core retail partners are well-known outlets and proven national retailers. Westgate Center also offers a variety of dining and service opportunities for those looking to open in an established neighborhood and retail center. With a limited amount of available space, we are carefully selecting a retail mix that reflects the needs of the community.
Today's 600,000-square-foot (56,000m2) mall opened -as the 356,000-square-foot (33,100m2)Westgate Shopper's Park- in February 1963. It was expanded in 1984-1985 and substantially renovated between 2000 and 2003, reversing a trend of nearly a decade of decline wherein nearly all of the stores had vacated the center. Nearby malls, including South Shore Plaza and Silver City Galleria, dominated the market in the past 15 years, but the Westgate Mall today has repositioned itself as a smaller, more convenient alternative and as a result, business has improved.
The mall opened May 12, 1955 and is considered Ottawa's first shopping centre. The anchor of the mall was Freiman's department store, owned by Lawrence Freiman who already had a department store on Rideau Street. In advertising for its grand opening Westgate boasted that it had parking for over 1200 cars, weather-protected shopping and music for its customers.

Few outside the military circles know of these specialized squads who alongside other security teams drawn from the police among other forces risked life and limb for country and flag to finally secure the Westgate building on Tuesday.
