The 87,000-square-foot Ikea store, just a quarter of the size of Ikea’s typical U.S. locations, will be the company’s first downtown location in the U.S. It will join a roster of 45 Ikea-anchored urban shopping malls around the world.

For months, the ground floor windows of the empty 6x6 shopping center on Market Street have been plastered with signs reading, “Hej!” The friendly Swedish greeting was the only sign of progress on the long-delayed plan to bring an Ikea store to downtown San Francisco.On Tuesday, Ingka Centres, the Scandinavian furniture giant’s partner developer, filed applications with the Planning Department detailing how it intends to fill out the empty mall between Fifth and Sixth streets.

Construction is estimated to last four months once the project is approved by Planning and other departments.
