Retailers, local and big box and just about everybody and nobody could make it work. Even using the global reach of our company, we couldnt make it happen. Nowhere in this country is there a shopping sent we are as many floors as westfield San Francisco center. Not in chicago, not in new york. The retail is why they succeed which is why the body amended the planning code to eliminate the need for a cup for the seventh and eighth floors and above.
