What’s Changing in Woodland Hills—Specifically Warner Center: New Developments & Infrastructure to Know

If you’ve driven through Warner Center lately, you’ve probably noticed: it doesn’t look like the sleepy stretch of office parks it once was. Cranes, construction fences, and brand-new towers are signaling something big — and investors, homeowners, and developers are paying attention.

The Kroenke Effect: Big Money, Big Vision

When billionaire Stan Kroenke — yes, the same guy who owns the Rams and SoFi Stadium — started acquiring massive portions of Warner Center real estate, it wasn’t by accident. Kroenke’s company now controls more than 60 acres, including the former Promenade Mall site, the Village at Westfield Topanga, and surrounding parcels.

The plan? A transformative mixed-use urban village featuring residential units, retail, restaurants, hotels, and entertainment — all built around walkability, transit access, and green space. Think SoFi Stadium district meets San Fernando Valley.

Why This Matters for Property Values

Major mixed-use projects like this don’t just change a skyline — they change the economics of an area. With new residential developments, improved infrastructure, and lifestyle amenities rolling in, demand for nearby housing historically spikes.

Expect:

• Increased property values as the area becomes a regional hub for business and entertainment.
• Higher rental demand from professionals drawn to the growing job base.
• A “walkable urban core” in a suburban setting — a rare hybrid that’s increasingly desirable.

Homeowners within a few miles of Warner Center are already sitting on strong equity, and as these projects move from dirt to doors, that trend could accelerate.

Infrastructure & Connectivity Upgrades

The Warner Center 2035 Plan, which sets the framework for this redevelopment, focuses heavily on transit, bike lanes, and pedestrian-friendly streets. The Metro Orange Line (soon to be the G Line) is getting upgrades, and developers are expected to include public plazas and traffic improvements to support higher density.

Translation: less commute pain, more community gain — and more appeal to future buyers looking for that balance of convenience and quality of life.

The Bigger Picture for Woodland Hills

Between Westfield Topanga’s luxury expansion, the upcoming high-rise apartments, and Kroenke’s long-term development push, Woodland Hills is positioning itself as the next premier live-work-play destination in Los Angeles.

If you own property here — or you’re thinking about buying — this is one of those “watch closely” moments. The combination of corporate investment, infrastructure, and urban-planning momentum doesn’t come around often.

Bottom Line:
The Kroenke development is more than construction — it’s a rebrand of Warner Center and, by extension, Woodland Hills. Property owners stand to benefit as this long-term vision takes shape and turns the area into a true destination, not just a ZIP code.
