Weeknight work hours are 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. from Monday evening through Saturday morning. Expect the most noise from this round of night work over the four-day period from the night of May 26 through the morning of May 30. The work consists of leveling the mall entrance finish floor, preparing for waterproofing, then reassembling the temporary walkways before the mall opens at 8:30 a.m. Night work should not impact any mall businesses nor neighborhood festivities. Plaza/Pagoda Work: The pagoda scaffolding is coming down! Over the next 7-10 days (including this Saturday, 5/16), the scaffolding will be dismantled and stacked on site to off haul mid-week. The copper roofing on the Pagoda is complete and passed all inspections. For the next month, observe the soft orange glow reflected on the ceiling above before the copper patinas to its final historic color. See attached photos. Pagoda painting is approximately 90% completed. Plaza painting will start in approximately one month. Waterproofing work on the plaza continues. We expect some odor during this process, and fans will be in use to help with airflow. Check out photos of the light and dark tile mockups used to confirm workmanship and the anticipated finish throughout the plaza. Garage Work: Plumbing/Electrical layout and installation continues. 60 parking spots under the Pagoda, in both upper and lower garage levels, will be occupied through mid-2026. Drive cautiously in the garage and follow posted detours signs on both upper and lower levels. Please do not walk on the ramp between levels. Access to and throughout Japan Center Malls and Garage: Access from Geary Boulevard: Use the Geary Boulevard parking garage to access both East Mall and West Mall.
