Future Expansion
In 2007 Westfield announced major expansion plans which would increase the gross leaseable area to over 2,000,000 square feet (190,000 m2), adding anchor stores Bloomingdale's and Neiman Marcus, 95 world-class shops, and a 3000 space parking structure. Westfield was granted approval for the expansion by the city of San Jose in November 2007. The expansion was temporarily put on hold due to the global recession. Westfield says it is in the planning stages and expects to go forward with the project.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or expansion:
“Perfect present has no existence in our consciousness. As I said years ago in Erewhon, it lives but upon the sufferance of past and future. We are like men standing on a narrow footbridge over a railway. We can watch the future hurrying like an express train towards us, and then hurrying into the past, but in the narrow strip of present we cannot see it. Strange that that which is the most essential to our consciousness should be exactly that of which we are least definitely conscious.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“The fundamental steps of expansion that will open a person, over time, to the full flowering of his or her individuality are the same for both genders. But men and women are rarely in the same place struggling with the same questions at the same age.”
—Gail Sheehy (20th century)
