empty space

It’s a sign of how shopping centers have changed since pandemic restrictions caused many small businesses to close and led retail landlords to embrace a wide range of medical-related tenants including dentists to fill empty space and coax potential customers to other stores in their malls.

Maintaining that empty space is expensive; heating and cooling it is bad for the environment; leaving it 90 percent empty is bad for local business, public transit, and neighborhood life.

One folded into the next, and there wasn’t an empty space for a year at all.

Humans like to imagine Earth as a pristine blue marble surrounded by empty space and glowing stars.

These empty space vertical corridors come at a massive cost, and could affect the structural integrity and likely void any previous earthquake permits for the building.
