I, for one, have no problem with them holding on to the west side as a land bank to enable future redevelopment when it's actually needed. For now, as long as per square foot sales are holding, I don't think it's necessary. But someday it will be, and that space on the west side might be exactly what enables them to hold on as Denver's premier retail destination. And who knows what retail preferences will look like in another 20 years. But where else in Denver can you do a retail project of that magnitude? Nowhere. (And I am fine with not having residential there. We have a whole city's worth of space for residential development. But very few gold plated retail sites.)
