Remember ALL those who sign a lease know their rental rates for the existing term (usually 3-5 with mostly 5 years) and the subsequent renewals (usually the same as the original term). So there is no mystery as to what the rental costs are from day one through 5 or 10 years.
So it is not the rent. It has to be the business(es) just did not perform to expectation....and that does happen. Good example of The Grateful Dog going from a large space to a smaller space to zero space.
Another example: the party store North of CVS off 466....went from a huge store to one half the size in a very short time.

Well put btk. Sometimes the tone of some posts on this forum lean toward blaming the Developer for business failures of their lessees. In reality, the lessee bit off more than they could chew.
