Although there are a number of nearby spots that could be redeveloped for commercial purposes.  Requiring mixed use when the commercial space is going to be too expensive to attract businesses, does not seem an optimal approach.

1500+ new bedrooms in addition to what's already there, but no commercial space at all- particularly after the initial plans were for a very walkable, mixed-use community- seems like a mistake.

I grant that the residential units are obviously more profitable than commercial units would be, otherwise the developer would choose both. The City doesn't need to approve a 36-floor tower if there aren't the amenities to support the new residents, and maybe it shouldn't.
