SAN FRANCISCO — Christian Dior has announced it will open a 10,000-square-foot flagship store in San Francisco. The international fashion house will be located on three floors at 185 Post Street in the Union Square shopping district. It is scheduled to open in 2016.
Grosvenor Americas purchased the building in 2005. Originally built in 1908, Grosvenor set about to preserve the building’s brick exterior by encapsulating it in layers of translucent and frosted glass. The firm also upgraded all of its building systems, including seismic protection.
Grosvenor owns nearby properties at 251 and 180 Post Street, which are leased to notable tenants like Coach, The North Face, Ghurka and Facconable, among others.
