About
Ghirardelli Square: Since being registered as a historic
landmark in 1982, Ghirardelli Square has become one of San Francisco's
most treasured icons, and has been home to a variety of dining
and retail merchants since it opened in 1964. In its final phase
of a major revitalization since JMA Ventures purchased the property
in 2004, Ghirardelli Square is transforming the historic destination
into an urban enclave of specialty boutiques, fine dining restaurants,
artisanal food markets, premium wine tasting shops, a luxury
spa and private residence club homes at Fairmont Heritage Place,
Ghirardelli Square. For more information, visit www.GhirardelliSQ.com.
