San Francisco downtown retail vacancies remain far above pre-pandemic levels
Original: Despite major Union Square comeback , downtown San Francisco retail vacancies still far from pre-pandemic numbers
Downtown San Francisco's retail recovery remains incomplete despite a notable comeback in Union Square. Vacancy rates in the city's core shopping districts are still well short of pre-pandemic figures, highlighting an uneven recovery in which flagship areas have improved while broader downtown retail has lagged behind, reflecting slower returns of office workers and foot traffic.
Why now: The contrast between Union Square's visible revival and persistent downtown vacancies highlights how uneven San Francisco's economic recovery remains.
