It's beginning to sound like a terrible terrible development on all cylinders.

Well, the thing to remember is that the Domain is a mall. A mall with wine bars and resteraunts that is open late and you can live there if you just really love the mall. Also, there are hotel there. In case you ever woke up and were like "Man, you know what I'd love? To vacation at a mall". It has some nightlife until around 12PM most nights because of North and that wine bar next to North. The rest of it is pretty dead after 9PM-10PM.
But it's not really urban. I mean, even if you lived there and you wanted to go to the new whole foods once it opens you would basically have to drive to the Whole Foods and then drive back to your apartment.
The upside is, it will probably help redevelop a part of town that needed it. With the Pickle research center taking up a large swath of space it would take a large scale destination like this to anchor redevelopment. IIRC it replaced a driving range.
All that said, I really like Barneys. They sell Nudie Jeans :p
