Since you know what they pay for rent (because the Morse family needs their millions), what else is the leases that might surprise us? Can you share the lease you read?
A captive customer base will pay nearly whatever the business asks. Residents south of 44 along Morse could always trek up to Brownwood but that's a bit of an investment in time. While smaller, more expensive, and "not a square," Sawgrass is better than nothing.

It will be interesting to see what happens as Middleton and Eastport continue to open; competition may affect prices.
