With the downtown Nordstrom location in its final days, a once vibrant store is desolate with mannequins packaged away and many empty displays in sectioned-off areas.
"We are hoping that in the short term, we can bring those vendors down to ground floor where they have visibility and access to the public and that we keep visitation to that mall. Over the long term we work to build those exciting businesses and some exciting new concepts for what may happen there," said Dennis Phillips.
One of those concepts is a soccer stadium. San Francisco's Mayor London Breed confirmed the city is still in the early preliminary stages of working on a feasibility study in the area. "It's not just a plan for a soccer stadium. It's showing people what it's possible. We are starting to think about what is downtown in light of the challenges around the retail. So, not only could there be a soccer stadium that could be transformative. Meaning soccer matches, FIFA, and a soccer tournament but concerts," said San Francisco Mayor London Breed.
