History
Westfield America, Inc., a precursor to the Westfield Group acquired the shopping center in 1998, and renamed it "Westfield Shoppingtown UTC", dropping the "Shoppingtown" name in June 2005. Westfield bought both the closed Robinsons-May store and the freehold of the Macy's store in 2006.
Ice Town, one of the few public ice skating rinks in San Diego, is still up and running in the same building as the shopping center's food court. As of today the food court rink now houses Ice Skating, Hockey, Football, Baseball, Soccer, and many other sports.
Westfield UTC's 6 movie Mann Theatres franchise was there from 1979 to 1999, situated where the Sports Chalet is today.
