The San Francisco Centre, an increasingly vacant shopping mall spanning 1.5 million square feet, may soon be replaced by a soccer pitch. 

Mayor London Breed proposed this idea during an on-stage interview at Bloomberg’s Technology Summit, citing the mall’s declining occupancy rate. 

“You can convert certain spaces,” Breed told the crowd. “A Westfield mall could become, you know, something completely different than what it currently is. It could be a place where — we could even tear down the whole building and build a whole new soccer stadium. 

When asked if the city is in a doom loop, Breed emphasized how few people actually shop in brick-and-mortar stores.

The property was previously appraised at $1.2 billion in 2016, but Nordstrom’s recent decision to pull out of the mall, among other factors, has led to its abandonment by its Paris-based owner, Westfield.
