Metreon company history timeline
Gold Medal for Design, Management + Community DevelopmentToday | 1999
Although Sony opened two additional centers in Tokyo and Berlin in 1999, the original center failed to turn the expected profit.
In 2000, Metron moved to the Industrial Area of Serres, where it was equipped with the latest machinery tools.
Sony promised first-year foot traffic of six million, one million above pre-launch projections, but by mid 2001 "The Way Things Work" was closed.
By 2002, persistent rumors said that Sony wished to withdraw from management of the property.
In February 2006, Metreon was sold to The Westfield Group, the owner of the nearby Westfield San Francisco Centre shopping mall, and Forest City Enterprises, a real estate development company.
May 13, 2007 was Portal One arcade's last day of operation.
In 2008, after the successful completion of continuous investments, Metron started designing Complete Lift Solutions.
Tavern on the Green, however, entered bankruptcy on September 11, 2009, "throwing into doubt" the plans for the Metreon location.
In 2009, Metron manufactured the first hydraulic system and very quickly traction solutions, with or without machine room, were also introduced to the arsenal.
In early 2009, Sony announced that it would be closing the Sony and PlayStation stores, the last flagship stores located in the mall.
The Metreon building has been redeveloped as a Target store, opened in October 2012.
