I think having a centrally located shopping district would create the best experience for locals, tourists, and suburbanites. Regardless, it's nice they are breathing some life into this end of the CBD.

Tourists don't go furniture shopping, especially not at a chain store where they probably have one closer to home. Arhaus is aimed purely at New Orleans residents. The rest of the development will have a similar focus, not on fashion but on food/dining/housewares. I wouldn't be surprised to see a Williams-Sonoma in later phases.
