SF Gate is reporting today that S.F. State has leased space @ 5th & Market for a new campus. “The owner of the San Francisco Shopping Centre has leased 107,000 square feet, or about half the office space available at the new Westfield San Francisco Centre, to San Francisco State University for a larger downtown campus.”

“Under the 15-year lease, the university’s business school and its continuing education and community outreach programs will occupy the entire sixth floor and part of the fifth floor of the complex, which will also house a new Bloomingdale’s store, a nine-screen movie theater, a high-end grocery store and other shops. The programs will move there in early 2007 and serve about 7,700 students per year. The new campus will replace the university’s downtown campus, which occupies about 50,000 square feet at 425 Market St.”

In addition to the obvious increase in vibrancy from the new San Francisco Centre, this larger SFSU campus will help bring more live into the mid-Market area.
