Valencia Town Center, formerly Westfield Valencia Town Center from 2005 to 2023, is a shopping mall in the neighborhood of Valencia in Santa Clarita, California. Centennial Realty currently owns the mall since September 1, 2023. The previous owner, Westfield Group had acquired a quarter-interest in the property in 2002[1] and a further quarter-interest in 2005, thereafter assuming management control.[2] The mall was then renamed Westfield Valencia Town Center.

Anchor stores include Macy's (first opened as May Company, later became Robinsons-May in 1993 until Macy's in 2006), JCPenney, Forever 21, Regal Cinemas, H&M, and Gold's Gym with one vacant anchor last occupied by Sears, which closed in March 2018.[3] In 2008, an expansion to the mall was added, replacing portions of a parking lot. The 1st half opened on November 18, 2009, while the rest opened on November 11, 2010.

In 2019, Westfield Valencia Town Center proposed a new “The Patios Connection” project at the former Sears site, which would include a luxury cinema, gym, Costco, and gas station. The proposed Costco would include a 275-space, rooftop parking lot. In April 2021, the project was canceled.[4][5]

On January 12, 2023, a man was seen trespassing outside the Macy's entrance. After receiving the call, a LASD deputy shot the man after an alleged attack near the outside Macy's entrance at around 11 p.m. The man was taken to the hospital and later died. The deputy was also transported with injuries and was later released.[6]
