IMAGINE WHAT'S POSSIBLE
THE NEXT CHAPTER
In 2024, the City of San Francisco approved plans to transform the vast expanse of parking lots around Stonestown Galleria into a vibrant new neighborhood. The mall began as a classic shopping center in the 1950s and today is a popular destination with shopping, dining, entertainment and grocery stores. Its next chapter will be a walkable neighborhood that blends what people love now with new housing, parks and green spaces, a retail “main street” and more — all in one place.
It will take two-to-three years before construction begins and the project will be built in phases contingent on economic conditions. Our focus now is on creating infrastructure plans, project designs and the financing structure. For now, Stonestown will continue to be an enjoyable place for people of all ages and backgrounds to shop, dine and enjoy. Take a tour of Stonestown today and tomorrow with the four before and after scenes below.
