Costco--but with 800 apartments

[ac3r]

My exact thoughts. This isn't exactly a new idea. We used to always build buildings where the ground floor is commercial and anything above is residential or offices. I suppose this only differs in that it's a building typically in a big box suburban store located in a suburban area; a Costco first, residential second.

Would be nice to see more projects like this, though. But it's very hard to convince retail stores to take on a project like this.
