Urban Outfitters Posts Sign for Opening

Urban Outfitters could be open soon in Malibu, according to a new sign posted in the Cross Creek area.

Malibu-based commercial developer J&P Limited pulled permits in November to make improvements to the former Charter Communications building.

Under a tenant improvement permit application, which was filed on Nov. 19, the store will be located in a 10,611 square foot space at 3806 Cross Creek Road near Civic Center Way. Developers have been aiming for a June 2013 opening.

No official opening date has been announced.

The proposed location, which is currently surrounded by a fence and under construction, is across from Taverna Tony.

The proposed hours of operation are 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.

Urban Outfitters has 130 locations across the United States. The store includes apparel for men and women from the 18 to 30 year-old range. The nearest locations to Malibu are in Ventura, Thousand Oaks, Canoga Park and Santa Monica.

The company Urban Outfitters, Inc. includes the brands Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, Free People, Terrain and BHLDN.

A draft formula retail ordinance is not in effect. The proposed ordinance would require any new chain stores in shopping centers with more than 10,000 square feet in the Civic Center area of Malibu to apply for a conditional use permit.
