Built in 1966, San Francisco's Empress of China closed in 2016; 10 years later it reopened its doors

The iconic Empress of China building in San Francisco has achieved community ownership after a decade-long effort. A coalition of six Asian American non-profits came together to acquire this historic site, aiming to convert it into a thriving arts and cultural campus. The restoration project aligns with broader economic and cultural revitalization goals, inviting future public sessions to influence its architectural evolution.
