The City of Westlake Village is located in the heart of the Ventura Freeway (Highway 101) “Technology Corridor”. The Corridor stretches along the freeway from Calabasas westward through the Oxnard plain, and is recognized as one of Southern California’s major R&D and technology growth areas.
Within a fifteen mile radius of Westlake Village are a host of high-tech manufactures, R&D firms, biotechnology companies and healthcare organizations. Westlake Village itself is home to a number of corporate headquarters, including Dole Food Company, K-Swiss and Homestore.com to name a few.
Continued business growth and vitality in Westlake Village is support through “fast-tracking” the development review and entitlement process, the Citys’ “no business tax” commitment, a highly educated pool of worker, and the business-friendly orientation of the City Council and staff.
Companies seeking to relocate or expand will find a wide range of commercial business parks available within the City.
