The off-price retailer left its Union Square location three years ago but is reopening a 51,500-square-foot store in fall 2027 as the city’s retail revitalization continues.
While the opening of one store shouldn’t necessarily be seen as a sea change, Nordstrom appears to have left at least a little bit of its heart in San Francisco after the company closed up shop on Market Street after 35 years in the city.
In its release, the Seattle-based retailer touted its “deep roots” in the Bay area and said it planned to continue its investments and the expansion of its physical footprint there.
Meanwhile, the city’s leadership welcomed the prodigal store back with open arms.
“Three years ago, companies were leaving San Francisco,” San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie said in a statement. “Today, they want to be here, and Nordstrom Rack's decision to return to the heart of our city is another sign of the growing confidence in San Francisco. We’re making our streets safer and cleaner, bringing people back downtown, cutting red tape, and creating the conditions for businesses to succeed.”
Lurie added that he was “thrilled that Nordstrom is choosing to invest in San Francisco again” and that he was looking forward to “building on our city’s momentum."
Nordstrom Rack’s new San Francisco store is located at 2 Stockton Street in the former Forever 21 space, in a building owned and managed by Invesco Real Estate. Invesco also owns nearby 48 Stockton Street, which is the former location of a Barneys New York flagship.
