As for persuading big-box to locate in the HCC or JS--excellent idea. There would be serious challenges with HCC because of it's multi-level galleria design on the interior--however Jackson Square--which is a (mostly) one-level box has an almost completely flexible interior and could accomodate stores of greatly varying sizes. I noticed this trend in Montreal recently where the malls and underground retail spaces go on endlessly--there are increasing numbers of larger format stores taking up multiple spaces.

How about the space on the roof of JS?
