Stonestown Galleria is a shopping mall in San Francisco, California, anchored by Nordstrom and Macy's. The original Stonestown Mall was developed by ''Stoneson Development Corporation'', but the complex is now owned and managed by General Growth Properties, and is located immediately north of San Francisco State University. ==History== Stonestown Galleria, originally Stonestown Shopping Center, was built in 1952 by the Stoneson brothers. It was built in the Lakeside neighborhood, bordering Lake Merced, along with apartments that could house 3,000–3,500 people.〔(Western Neighborhoods Project ) Retrieved May 16, 2007〕 The major tenant, the Emporium department store, opened on July 16, 1952. Other early businesses included Walgreens, Butler Brothers, Gallenkamp Shoes, the Red Chimney restaurant and Woolworth's. There were stores for local residents, including a grocery store(),a bakery, and movie theaters. The Stoneson brothers' development firm was also responsible for the later Stoneridge Shopping Center (located in east suburban Pleasanton) and Lakeside Village. The Stoneston brothers aged and the mall was sold to a pension fund. Stonestown went through a renovation and major redevelopment in 1987, spearheaded by architect John Field. Field's plan added one story of stores, including a food court, a glass ceiling and marble floors, plus 350 new underground parking spaces.〔(Real Estate Alert Article ) Retrieved June 2, 2007〕 These changes led to the Stonestown Shopping Center being renamed Stonestown Galleria. The Emporium anchor store was converted to Macy's in 1996 when Macy's bought The Emporium. In December 2003, Heitman Financial, the manager, abandoned efforts to construct nearly 300 new residential units and a grocery store on a parcel next to the mall's site. Neighborhood groups complained that the project would worsen traffic congestion in the area and create safety and environmental problems. In 2004, General Growth Properties bought the mall from Pacific Acquisition Corp. for $312 million.〔(International Council of Shopping Centers ) Retrieved May 9, 2007〕 Today, Stonestown's 160 in-line shops are fully occupied and generate sales of about $460 per square foot. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stonestown Galleria」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
