Do people realize that many Americans cities outside of their downtown areas are literally urban strip malls simply up against the street particularly commercial strips?
Obviously its not suburban in physical form but it appears to be an "urban strip mall" in two ways. First the tenants that are in every suburban strip mall if in fact it will have Dollar Tree, Ross etc. Again, this may be all that is feasible for Underground at this time. Secondly, it is suburban in the mindset that every person will drive to and from the development despite being adjacent Marta's central transit station.

By the way, this isn't outside of downtown. This happens to be in the historic heart of the city.
