The particular design I'm thinking of is similar to Brooklyn's Atlantic Center, if not a little smaller. I understand there's a lot of risk involved, but I have optimism that if it's done right it would be profitable for as long there were enough people moving into the area.

To me this area seems like the only logical spot to build anything [[strip mall or whatever) if whatever company wants to build a supermarket in the Downtown/Midtown area without demolishing whole blocks of buildings and getting the most traffic. Don't burn me too hard.
That's Illitch's land. Going to be a hockey stadium.
