A centerpiece of the Westbury neighborhood was the Westbury Square shopping centre. Designed by architect William J. Wortham, Jr. to look like an Italian village, it had quaint little shops centred around a fountain. After the opening of nearby shopping malls (such as the Galleria in Uptown Houston), business dropped off and most of the shops were shuttered. It remains open, but much of its original space has been lost to nearby development and only a few tenants remain. A large portion of what was once Westbury Square is now the location of a Home Depot hardware store. Developer Berne laid out apartments (later condominiums) and townhouses in the surrounding blocks, which were intended to give the area an urban, European feel.
