We’ve made headway on the waterproofing and are switching the detours to the Post Street Mall entrances mid-March! Please follow signs leading into each of the mall entrances.
Detour entrance to the East Mall will be adjacent to the building (US Bank) starting March 11, 2025.
Detour entrance to the West Mall will be through the middle of the construction site starting the week of March 17, 2025.
Construction Highlights:
- Night work in the garage (midnight to 8AM) will start mid-March through mid-April. This quiet work consists of prepping the painted areas for the installation of new beams.
- Plaza/Pagoda Work:
- Waterproofing work continues on the concrete slabs near Post Street East Mall and around all the steel reinforcements.
- Garage Work:
- Scanning the concrete to identify all reinforcements on the ceiling continues in preparation for necessary coring in the next few months.
- Scaffolding remains in both upper and lower garage levels (approximately 60 parking spots) and vehicle ramp through mid-2025. Drive cautiously and follow posted detours signs on both upper and lower levels. Please do not walk on the ramp between levels.
Access to and throughout Japan Center Malls and Garage:
- Access from Geary Boulevard: Use the Geary Boulevard parking garage to access both East Mall and West Mall.
- Access from Post Street: Use the new posted detours into East and West Malls being adjusted Mid-March.
- Sidewalk: Accessible pedestrian detour is open along the north side of Geary between Laguna to Buchanan Streets. For safety, follow all detours, stay within fenced pedestrian detour lane, and avoid walking in the bus lanes.
Feel free to reach out with any questions.
