As a person who studies economic trends I wonder what in the world the developer is thinking. High end stores are closing down at an alarming rate. Americans are strapped for cash and are instead shopping at Walmart, Costco and such. This is not a short term trend.

Years of offshoring, idiotic safety laws, heavy tax burdens and the socializing of American politics (both wellfare for the poor and the corperations) has lowered the American standard of living. The fact that the governments hiding of this with cheap money is coming to an end will only disclose the fact that Americans are broke.

Look for this high end shopping center to be a major bust. Stores will sit empty or be converted to discount stores or better yet into manufacturing centers.
