I think it is kinda cool with the whole large residential units using anchor commercial in the bottom units,it could go over in the burbs to phase out the strip mall concept.

I have a customer that just opened his 5th location of a healthy C - store style,all located in large residential high rises along with national brand gyms etc.

It seems to work well in bringing options to more dense inner cities,if one should shutter it would not create that look of abandonment like in a strip mall or mall.
