RETAIL & INDUSTRY
Financial District

It appears to be becoming a new retail real estate trend: Large shuttered drug stores in San Francisco that offer loads of space are being reenvisioned into smaller chunks of space for retail or offices.

San Francisco’s biggest employer reopened its very big headquarters to employees, in the city’s most significant office reopening yet.

A volunteer-run used bookstore in the Financial District, run out of some window alcoves near Bush and Montgomery, has a more secure future after signing a 10-year lease.

SF’s only Marshalls location has its days numbered, as the discount apparel retailer will close its Market Street store.

After the second change of ownership in five years and a full renovation, the former Loews Regency (nee Mandarin Oriental Hotel) has reopened as the Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco at Embarcadero.

More business closures are taking place downtown.
