San Francisco mall may get 6 basketball courts, 8 volleyball courts and school
A bold proposal seeks to convert San Francisco Centre into a vibrant sports complex, featuring state-of-the-art basketball and volleyball courts alongside a dedicated sports high school. Retail and dining options will continue to serve the community, drawing in visitors for both recreation and education. This innovative plan has the potential to breathe new life into the once-bustling downtown…
San Francisco's struggling downtown mall could see a sports-themed revival if Urban Land Development (ULD) and TMG Partners secure the deal. The proposal, if approved, would transform the shuttered San Francisco Centre into a multi-level complex featuring six basketball courts, eight volleyball courts, retail, dining, and a sports-focused high school.
The plan includes transforming the mall into a sports destination, with a basketball entertainment venue on the third floor and six basketball courts for private training camps. Above that, six volleyball courts, as well as a sports-focused high school could be included. Retail would still be a part of the plan, with two floors dedicated to shops and an underground food court.
The proposal aims to create a destination that attracts people beyond shopping, particularly those living in the Mid-Market and Union Square neighborhoods. The mall, which closed in February after years of tenant departures and financial issues, may finally see a fresh start after years of vacancies and failed deals. However, the redevelopment process will face challenges, including historic preservation requirements and financial constraints.
