ArcLight's decision to put themselves there is pretty bewildering to me. Their audience exists somewhere between the Music Box and Landmark Century, which are both pretty close to this mall.
They could have done really well opening in any of the downtown-adjacent neighborhoods where all the residential growth has been – River North, West Loop, South Loop. They likely would have needed a more urban approach to their real estate though, which is part of the problem.
