re: #136 Targetpractice

The demise of retail stores proceeds apace. A lot of malls are about to become graveyards apartment complexes.

Easy peasy redevelopment for anyone with the cash.

Solid exteriors, load-bearing walls and pillars inside, already there. And elevators and escalators. They already have all the water, sewage and electrical hookups. On-site grocery store, plus a couple of restaurants, maybe a Fed-Ex/UPS/printing shop and a dry-cleaner. Bus lines and/or subways already go there. Parking lots are big enough for two spaces per apartment, plus a generous visitors’ lot, and still enough room left to put in a pool and tennis court and gym.
