SoDo's 300k FIFA visitors arrive mid-2025. 300,000 estimated visitors during FIFA 2026; lease window open now.
"SoDo has worked to recruit 'unique, boutique, and local' restaurants and retail...The build-outs are subsidized, and they have a 'safe environment to fail small, fail fast and iterate.'".
10-block, 58-building mixed-use redevelopment in South Downtown is actively leasing to boutique local restaurants with subsidized build-outs; open container district, new green space (Founders Green), and FIFA 2026 foot traffic (est. 300,000 visitors) will materially increase covers for operators in or adjacent to the SoDo corridor starting mid-2025 through 2026.
Founders Green opens June 1; FIFA 2026 World Cup estimated 300,000 visitors; ongoing construction with apartments and retail opening in phases over next 2-5 years.
