There’s going to be so much of this. Going to have a crazy effect on our cities.

I am hopeful many of those malls get redeveloped into multi use walkable developments.

Hope so too but Will only happen if the malls were in excellent locations like Northpark in Dallas. I wonder if it’s cheaper to start from scratch or to demolish and keep the poured concrete? Probably start from scratch.

Concrete would come out because you need to run new utilities. It’s probably also questionable after 30-40-50 years.

Why do you need to run new utilities? Pipes for residential on floors 3+?

Let’s say you make it housing or a portion of it housing... Assuming (unlikely) that want the housing where the mall/retail building is then you’ll likely want to have bathrooms+kitchens in each one. The same kind of mess applies to making it light industrial, too.

Thanks. What a headache.

That’s just a basic one. Another is concrete comes in different formulas based on the building. so the existing stuff might not be strong enough or whatever. Brutal!
