A game-changer when it debuted in 1982, Opera Plaza was one of the first large-scale mixed-use developments that set the tone and vision for future SF developments. Above several stories of below-ground parking lies a ground-floor “mini-mall” with restaurants, shops, and offices. An incredibly walkable location in the heart of Civic Center, Opera Plaza has a lot to offer residents.
