The long-awaited renovation at Westfield UTC is finally nearing completion. Locals are thrilled by new additions including J. Crew, Splendid (more on their December 1 Grand Opening to come), Tiffany & Co. and more. The mall’s Grand Opening events start tomorrow and there’s lots of news to share from contests to concerts.

Looking forward to holiday shopping and the new ArcLight Cinema. Off to pin and maybe win!
Me too! I am totally entering. Thanks for the tweet!
whoa! That is an awesome prize! Thanks for all the info! The mall looks beautiful too! Can’t wait to see all that has been done!
I’m glad they added the stores that they did, actually. It almost seemed like they had me in mind when they did it between Splendid and J. Crew!
Hopefully I can make it over there soon! I am excited for J Crew and the Arclight.
