YERBA BUENA—The Metreon's makeover breaks ground today. The project includes a new 85,000 square foot CityTarget store, a new "Dining Terrace" overlooking Yerba Buena Gardens, dozens of new retailers and eateries, and major improvements to the AMC Theatres and Westfield's City View event space. "This is a perfect example of smart redevelopment that works," said Mayor Lee. "At a time when growing our economy is a top priority, the Metreon project will create hundreds of new jobs, generate millions in tax revenues, and will be the home of the City's first Target Store. I am proud to kickoff the start of this significant project." [Curbed Inbox]
