Demolition work continues! The pagoda scaffolding will be installed this Fall and remain into Summer 2025. To prepare for the scaffolding, the contractor will be installing supports in October/November directly beneath the scaffolding on both the garage lower and upper levels blocking off 60 parking spots to accommodate the supports and temporary driving lanes. For your safety, please follow all posted signage, including posted detours.
Access to the East Mall is detoured through in the center of Post St Construction barrier which will remain in place into October while the semi-permanent walkway is constructed. Once completed, contractor will create a detour to the west mall from the middle of Post Street.
See the construction photos for what is happening behind the construction barricade.
Remember! Japan Center Malls remain open throughout the construction duration. Please be aware of the following pedestrian detours:
- Access from Geary Boulevard – Detour to both East Mall and West Mall through the Geary Boulevard parking garage
- Access from Post Street – Enter through existing fenced paths near the buildings to East Mall and West Mall
- SIDEWALK CLOSED on the north side of Geary Boulevard from Laguna Street to Buchanan Street (mid-block crosswalk).
Feel free to reach out with any questions.
