They could have otherwise built commercial space for pure profit, but they opted for less monetary return in order to provide more needed (and hopefully attractive to new home buyers) infrastructure in the way of schools - usually a government pursuit. Why usually a government pursuit usually? Because they do not have much of an ROI. While The Developer is indeed doing this for long term strength and sustainability, it will not produce much cash flow, especially in the short term.
Thanks, for correcting my misunderstanding.
