Zara is set to expand to a four-story, 40,000-square-foot flagship store. They will join a Nintendo store, which has commanded lines around the block, The RealReal, Aritzia, Pop Mart and AT&T. Kith has signed a lease and Nordstrom and Bloomingdale’s are said to be eyeing space.  In the middle of that remarkable turnaround is a nascent firm, Uris Acquisitions, helmed by Max Raskin, 36, and Ian Jacobs, 49. The pair began snapping up real estate just months after Mayor Daniel Lurie took office in Jan. 2025.

AP   Raskin worked as a journalist at Bloomberg and Morgan Stanley before landing at law school, then the Treasury Department. He has a good head for politics — and a belief that the greatest cities in the world always make a comeback. Although he now only occasionally writes, he met Lurie when interviewing him for a story. Their relationship with Lurie has proven key to their success. “We feel a real partnership with the city,” Raskin explains. “It’s just, ‘Hey, what can we do to help out?’ (index.html#) (Open a slideshow of all 6 article images.)

It just takes a lot of willpower… You just arrest the criminals and you don’t give them drugs.” Mayor Lurie, for his part, is clear that, “If we make the streets safe and clean, people will want to be here. When people don’t feel safe, nothing else matters.” “Government needs to do its job, which is providing the basics. If we provide the basics, the city can sell itself.” Lurie isn’t only taking Raskin’s calls.

All of those calls have helped Lurie implement common-sense reforms — like making it far easier to get building permits, which previously had stood in the way of new development. “Retailers have been dating San Francisco, waiting to fall in love again … waiting for an indication that the time was right and that the frog had turned back into a prince,” joked Julie Taylor, the realtor Uris has used to purchase property.  “It’s really a full gut remodel of Union Square…  We’re going to have fresh brands in every door.” (index.html#) (Open a slideshow of all 6 article images.)

They are also under contract for two more buildings in Union Square. Of course, there are still challenges with homelessness and crime and people who are wary of change. And while Uris made the bet that effective government could resolve the biggest problems, there is not a guarantee that type of governance will last.  But Raskin says his optimism and positivity have helped. “We didn’t know it was going to be the AI boom, but we knew something was going to boom… We just bet on people.
