Life Time opened its newest luxury athletic country club in Walnut Creek, CA, in the Broadway Plaza shopping center. It is the company’s first in the San Francisco Bay Area, seventh in California, third in Northern California, and first to open in a shopping center-based location with Macerich.
“Expanding to the San Francisco market has been a key objective and we’re thrilled to bring our unique healthy way of life offering to Macerich’s beautiful Broadway Plaza and the Bay community,” said Parham Javaheri, Life Time’s chief property development officer. “This is yet another example of Life Time playing a central role as shopping destinations evolve into holistic lifestyle centers with health, wellness, entertainment, shopping, and social offerings for the entire community while delivering on our asset-light growth strategy.”
Spanning four levels, the Walnut Creek club features the area’s first rooftop beach with a six-lane lap pool, splash pad for kids, whirlpool, cabana-style seating, and a LifeCafe poolside bistro. The club also offers members five workout studios supporting barre, cycling, high-intensity, Pilates, strength training, and yoga.’
“We welcome Life Time to Broadway Plaza with great anticipation and excitement. As we have seen at other incredibly successful locations, adding Life Time’s much-loved healthy lifestyle brand complements our retail, dining and entertainment offerings with positive experiences for guests day and night. It also brings benefits for other tenants as those guests linger to shop, eat and enjoy our regional town centers,” said Ed Coppola, president of Macerich.
“Macerich is all about securing new, complementary uses to enhance our top properties—like Broadway Plaza—so that they mean more things to more people, and we’re happy that Life Time is now an essential part of that story in Walnut Creek,” continued Coppola.
Life Time has two other athletic country clubs open in Macerich properties—one in Biltmore Fashion Park in Phoenix, AZ and the other in Scottsdale Fashion Square in Scottsdale, AZ.
