"A glitzy outdoor shopping center opened in 2008 and developed by Caruso, intentionally evoking a Main Street–style, curated atmosphere: choreographed Bellagio-style fountains, a trolley, a whimsical steampunk parking-lot elevator, full-service restaurants like the Cheesecake Factory, and high-end retail. Its paid parking and carefully staged public spaces create a calming, familiar environment that signals a more curated, affluent audience; the property’s ownership has also been selective about who can use the space for public expression. From 2013 until a recent relocation, it housed the San Fernando Valley outpost of a major Taiwanese dumpling chain, and that tenant’s departure to the indoor mall across the street became particularly notable in local gossip." - Ryan Bradley

"I see the Americana at Brand as the outdoor, Rick Caruso–owned mall in Glendale that just underwent a high-profile tenant shuffle: Din Tai Fung vacated its space and Paradise Dynasty has inked a lease to take over and fully rebrand the roughly 8,000‑square‑foot unit, which is being pitched as a significant get for the development and will include more patio room." - Farley Elliott

"Owned by Rick Caruso, the Americana at Brand is described as a glossy, newer mall that has lured customers and business away from the adjacent Glendale Galleria over the years." - Farley Elliott

"ROCA is a new restaurant at the Americana at Brand in Glendale, expected to open Memorial Day weekend with a menu focused on Roman-style pizza. It is backed by California Pizza Kitchen co-founder Rick Rosenfield and his partner/wife Esther Rosenfield, with chef Luigi Roditis of Il Romanista in El Segundo running the kitchen. The restaurant will not be permanent and is set to shift to other locations, including Caruso’s Waterside development this fall and another site on the Westside." - Farley Elliott

"In Glendale, the Americana at Brand features a lawn that the Grove lacks, making it a more suitable outdoor-picnic-style setting compared with the Grove." - Matthew Kang
