What would people like to see?
For large retail, I say Wegmans or Whole Foods and a Crate & Barrel or Home Depot / Lowe's. Eataly would be fun, but that isn't happening.

Examples could be a large format restaurant or food hall occupying the grand court or maybe a grocery store. The building would provide “incredibly fertile ground” for a grocery store, Green said, because it has high ceiling heights, loading docks and 600 underground parking spaces with existing elevators.
As part of a planning exercise, MSC and the development team designed potential floor plans of how the space could be divided. Options include a single ground-floor tenant occupying 93,000 square feet or a split between a 58,000-square-foot user and a 35,000-square-foot user. Another option could be carving up the space into smaller pieces with one of the tenants occupying the grand court while smaller tenants fill in the perimeter of the ground floor.
