Shopping malls are being sold for pennies on the dollar because no one knows how to monetize them and make them vibrant again. These buildings typically have 2-3 anchor stores and could house up to several hundred smaller stores which are all walled off. Some shopping malls are as large as 1,000,000 square feet in size.
