Unfortunately because you forgot to re-route exit/entrance ramps to the highway your project is doomed to fail. Everyone knows that urban commercial success is dependant on direct highway access. It would even be acceptable to inconvienence residential neighborhoods a mile away if necessary to shuffle other ramps to make your access easier.
Now if you had built it on Lake St you would be set.

>Neighborhood activists here are very anxiously awaiting the debut of the new
>NIMBYDALE MALL. What had been a one acre site with two vacant buildings and
>in-ground petroleum pollution; will soon be a sparkling new mixed use
>development. Jam packed because of density bonuses; the mall and the
>supportive housing above is already fully leased.
>
>The wide ranging diversity of tenants guarantees this mall's success, and
>popularity, in our city's future. We have welcomed most all the products and
>services wanted by the public, yet effectively banned by City Zoning policy
>and fortress neighborhoods.
>
>We have signed the following businesses; Check cashing/payday advance, used
>goods, pawnshop, gas station/auto repair, tattoo parlor, fast-food
>w/drivethrough, liquor store, gun shop, and homeless shelter.
>
>With the sex offenders, and halfway housing above, counter balanced by low
>income housing for single moms, we are confident of balanced development, and
>the right demographic mix, here.
>
>Our model was to take the best of Phillips/Ventura Village and add suburban
>shopping options for our NorthSide. I think we did it right.
