Yeah this is great. I'm still mad that the new mid-rises north of Crestview station have zero retail. Huge missed opportunity IMO

It probably didn't help that the existing retail at the station wasn't necessarily performing that well when those places were moving forward. That retail area is still facing an upward climb. The design is too inward facing, the original set of businesses were not great (a crappy Subway and f*ck Fuzzy's gross tacos forever), and the adjacent apartments are at least two stories too short.
I'd expect whatever eventually gets built at the Tyler's Outlet just north of the newer apartments to include retail. Same for the small lot across Banyon St, which had planned/approved retail that seems to have been killed by the pandemic. Out of the 4 or 5 apartment projects that are either under construction along N Lamar nearby or have been announced, I think only one is strictly residential (the one with underground parking, across from the scuzzy motels).
