Newhall Crossings

Newhall Crossings is the newest Main Street destination in Santa Clarita. It was conceptualized and led by Rick Aiken, Vice President of WHA LA, in collaboration with Serrano Development Group and Laemmle Theaters. WHA’s Urban Studio prepared a winning RFP and has taken the design process from Conceptual Design through Construction Documents and now Construction Administration. Newhall Crossings is currently under construction and is anticipated to be completed this Summer.

Located at the northern end of Old Town Newhall; at the intersection of Main Street and Lyons Avenue, Newhall Crossings is a strong anchor, transforming and revitalizing the area with a dynamic mixed-use environment. The architecture reflects an eclectic collection of historic main street facades from the old west, channeling the heritage of Old Town Newhall.

In addition to the architectural design, WHA’s branding studio created the logo for Newhall Crossings. We took inspiration from Santa Clarita’s native oak trees and the historic Southern Pacific Railroad to create a logo that connects to the history of the community. Branding for Newhall Crossings positions the development to be the center of the community and hub of economic activity while creating a positive image showcasing Old Town Newhall’s unique characteristics.

Many factors contribute to the walkability of the neighborhood. The Newhall Metrolink station is a four-minute walk to Newhall Crossings, making the area very pedestrian friendly.  In an effort to bring the community together, events like a farmers market and concerts will be hosted along Main Street or in the central plaza. Cafés and restaurants with outdoor seating opportunities activate the pedestrian realm at street level, creating a pleasant and walkable destination. The central public plaza is filled with trendy shops, places to linger and enjoy a cup of coffee or find a seat to watch outdoor movies. With its mix of boutique shopping, casual and fine dining, entertainment, rustic charm, and cosmopolitan appeal, Newhall Crossings will be the place to go.
