Well, FWIW Mill Creek is a national developer.
Going high rise costs a lot more money to build, per sq ft. In the Pearl, it's clear that developers think they can lease those buildings at a price that covers that extra costs. On this site, they clearly think that they can't, because they do build high rise product.

Agreed. On the one hand, I realize there isn't enough retail to fill the ground floor of every apartment that ever gets built. On the other hand... this site is incredibly active (or at least was pre-pandemic; I haven't been by there recently), and can surely support somewhat more retail than they're showing.
