The Stonestown Galleria in San Francisco is undergoing a major transformation, with plans to convert the mall into a vibrant town center featuring housing, civic spaces, and retail. Brookfield Properties, the development company behind the project, has released new renderings showcasing the vision for the revitalized area.
The Stonestown Revitalization Project has been in the works for four years, with extensive community and city involvement. The development will include a mix of housing options, including affordable units and dedicated spaces for seniors and students. Six acres of publicly accessible parks and plazas will create green oases for recreation and community gatherings.
The project is designed to create a vibrant town center that meets the needs of the surrounding community. It will bring new jobs to the area, both during construction and through permanent on-site employment. Additionally, the development will include funding for park improvements and enhanced Muni transit services, making the area more accessible and convenient for residents.
The project has generated mixed reactions from the community. While some residents are excited about the potential benefits of the redevelopment, others have expressed concerns about the impact on the existing mall and its businesses. The San Francisco Planning Commission has been gathering public input since last year, and the project still requires approval from both the commission and the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.
Brookfield Properties representatives declined an interview but have shared renderings of the project, providing a glimpse into the future of Stonestown Galleria. The redevelopment aims to transform the mall into a thriving hub that serves as a vibrant and livable space for the community.
