They could pull a Stuart Little and build around it.

There was this situation in Rochester NY where Wegmans wanted to put up a new store in the city. They bought a whole block up but one holdout (a wig shop) refused to sell. They went ahead with a plan to build the whole store around the wig shop but in the last second, the wig shop gave in, realizing that wig shops don't make any money.

So they ended up with the whole block. I'm pretty sure these guys would do the same thing.
