The RealReal, the San Francisco-based fashion resale brand, said its \u201creimagined space\u201d will feature women\u2019s and men\u2019s luxury fashion, fine jewelry and watches, along with \u201csignificantly expanded areas for consignor appointments and private, high-value showings\u201d that reflect \u201cthe city\u2019s creative spirit \u2014 blending heritage, sustainability, and modern luxury.\u201d<\/p>\n
The store\u2019s reopening comes just over three years after it shuttered the two-story store it had opened back in March 2020, just days before the pandemic shutdown, in a space formerly occupied by Herm\u00e8s. In early 2023, The RealReal announced in a regulatory filing that it was closing the Union Square store<\/a> and several others across the country as part of cost-cutting measures.<\/p>\n The chain said the newly reopened two-story flagship store, spanning more than 8,100 square feet, would be its 17th nationwide, adding to locations in Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York and elsewhere.<\/p>\n \u201cThe expanded store brings expert-authenticated luxury resale, personalized service, and elevated design back to one of San Francisco\u2019s most iconic retail corridors,\u201d it said in the statement.<\/p>\n AT&T, meanwhile, has applied for signage permits and new tenant improvements at 1 Powell St. <\/p>\n At a gathering this month sponsored by the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce, AT&T Director of External Affairs and outgoing board chairman Cammy Blackstone told business leaders that the company is part of a wave of companies returning to the city. <\/p>\n \u201cIt hasn\u2019t been easy, but by staying focused on the fundamentals and working together, we\u2019ve helped move the city in a more positive direction,\u201d Blackstone said in a statement. <\/p>\n AT&T did not respond to a request for comment by CoStar News.<\/p>\n San Francisco Centre, the largest mall in the city, closed in January after years of bleeding tenants. (CoStar)<\/p>\n The San Francisco Chamber of Commerce last month released a poll that found “a decisive shift in how San Franciscans view the city\u2019s trajectory, with optimism, confidence and perceptions of quality of life reaching their highest levels in years,” according to the 38th Annual CityBeat Poll. <\/p>\n In a statement about the poll, Mayor Daniel Lurie pointed to the Super Bowl that took place this month in the Bay Area, putting “the eyes of the world” on the city. <\/p>\n “We got to show off who we really are. The streets were alive. Restaurants were packed. Events ran smoothly. We showed that the San Francisco comeback is real,\u201d Lurie said. \u201cWe\u2019ve finally got our city moving in the right direction again and now it\u2019s time to step on the accelerator.” <\/p>\n![\"San](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/1772165436_244_.jpeg\")
