Westlake raises the bar on new construction

BILL SPARKES/Acorn Newspapers NERVES OF STEEL—Workers put a 2,500-pound steel fill beam into place as construction continues on a new 180,000-square-foot office building at Russell Ranch Road in Westlake Village. The structure should be ready for occupancy this summer. Reports show Westlake Village leads the Conejo Valley in office square footage. The local construction boom also includes the new Dole complex, Marriot Hotel and Lowe’s retail center—if the project is approved by the city council.
