Therefore, we don't have mediocre shops and businesses at the squares, only the cream of the crop can afford their rates and that's why we have retailers and service providers that are excellent and highly successful. That's why we have desirable shops and professional businesses that we and those outside of TV want to frequent.

The developer has provided a solution to every need and filled every identifiable niche. If you had a massive business such as theirs, you would want to capture income from a variety of sources, rather than just from home sales.

Seems smart to me, not greedy.
