SEATTLE, April 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Seattle-based Nordstrom, Inc. (NYSE: JWN) announced today plans to open a Nordstrom Rack under a new 45,496 square-foot lease signed at the 901 Market Street property in San Francisco owned by Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. (NYSE: HPP). Encompassing a portion of the ground floor and entire second floor, the new lease will furnish two stories of prominent retail space scheduled to commence with the opening of the store for business in spring 2014.
"We are pleased to announce the signing of this new lease at 901 Market with Nordstrom, Inc.," said Victor J. Coleman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. "The 901 Market Street property enjoys exceptional visibility and access to Union Square's retail visitors and San Francisco's burgeoning technology and social media-oriented tenants. This leasing activity demonstrates our ability to attract a highly respected anchor tenant at this well-located property that is ideally suited to meet the needs of a unique market."
Nordstrom currently operates a full-line store in Westfield San Francisco Shopping Centre just across Fifth Avenue on Market Street. "We have been serving customers in our store on Market Street since 1988. We couldn't be more thrilled to be locating a Rack at 901 Market Street. This Hudson Pacific Properties building is in one of the best retail locations in any city. We look forward to better serving our customers – residents, commuters and tourists alike," said Geevy Thomas, president of Nordstrom Rack.
"Nordstrom's decision to locate their newest Nordstrom Rack store on Market Street speaks to the strength of the San Francisco retail market and investor confidence in Central Market," said San Francisco Mayor Edwin M. Lee. "Our focused effort to bring new jobs, investment and a diversity of retailers to the area is paying off."

Nordstrom Rack also offers a wide selection of apparel, accessories and shoes from many of the brands carried in Nordstrom stores.
