Mayor London Breed floated some ideas about what to do with empty downtown buildings during the Bloomberg Technology Summit Thursday and one of them was to demolish Westfield mall and make it a soccer stadium.
On the entire block where the San Francisco Centre mall sits, only one small shoe store remains. Other nearby stores are also departing citing crime and a reduction in foot traffic.Earlier this month, the Westfield Centre said they are transferring management of the shopping mall to its lender, who will then appoint a receiver to operate the property.
The owner cited "challenging operating conditions" in the city's downtown have led to a decline in sales, occupancy and in foot traffic.
