This has absolutely been the trend I saw as every mall strives to be the next high end paradise, wooing in the name retailers
Some were hoping to create an almost gated village of affluent residents who can get all their needs met within.
Two big failures with a few miles of each other
One's been in the making for about ten years, and they just finally got 1 supermarket,who fought to back out. Good thing they didn't.The market is doing extremely well, but likely at the expense of their other locations.

about 150 acres
Single supermarket to date
Left- oneillproperties.com
One supermarket, Target, and a couple of crap restaurants
Huge mall at top right
