CNN —San Francisco’s mayor Thursday proposed remaking the city’s struggling downtown by tearing down abandoned retail space, including the city’s Westfield mall, and building new structures to reshape the struggling city.
A Westfield Mall could become something completely different than what it currently is,” she said.
Earlier this month, Westfield said it planned to surrender its mall, the San Francisco Centre, back to its lender.
The mall operator cited the “challenging operating conditions in downtown San Francisco, which have led to declines in sales, occupancy and foot traffic.”Shoppers walk through the Westfield San Francisco Centre on April 13, 2022 in San Francisco, California.
So, let’s make some adjustments to do everything we can to reimagine what parts of San Francisco can be,” Breed said.
