WESTFIELD SAN FRANCISCO CENTRE
Fashionable expansion bringing the shoppers back to downtowns
The San Francisco Chronicle
This is the second article this week in The Chronicle about Forest City's Westfield Mall. Today's article uses Westfield as an example of the trend towards "urban malls."
The Westfield San Francisco Centre on Market Street is tripling its size at a time when urban malls are tapping into the revival of downtown shopping.
As more people come downtown to spend their dollars instead of retreating to the suburbs, retailers have been responding by opening flagship stores in urban malls and putting their smaller, satellite stores in outlying areas.
