@BlckCatBlckSky There's a max ratio of retail to office / residential customers, and ground floor spaces are far better for enticing customers, upper level retail is tough unless you're a destination for repeats or a penthouse view.
@BlckCatBlckSky Office vs residential- office rental agreements can be more favorable to landlords (longer duration with escalation clauses, pass along the property taxes to the renter, less eviction drama) and rent / sq ft can be better (obv market dependent)
