San Bruno's Shops at Tanforan has been a staple on the peninsula since opening as a shopping center in 1971. It's future has become clearer this week as Southern California-based Alexandria Real Estate has reportedly purchased the mall for $328.5 million and will transform it into a tech campus.
Tech companies, science companies, and tech firms are expected to make the upcoming office space home in the coming years.
Tanforan will continue operating as a shopping center for now, but will soon go the way of previously shuttered Bay Area malls like Cupertino's Vallco & Richmond's Hilltop Mall.
