"Retail tenants tend to serve as social gathering places that attract diverse clienteles for reasons that go beyond shopping. A #Chinese noodle bar in a complex might draw families celebrating #LunarNewYear or birthdays, for example, who can then pop into the #Korean clothing store next door or grab sweets at the #Japanese bakery around the corner. And for sites like #AsianGardenMall, community events like the #NightMarket are added draws."
