Also remember that prior to becoming Macy's, this space was a Lord & Taylor, which usually only takes up 150k sf as compared to the at least 500k sf a downtown Macy's would need.
That is a cool website. I think that does include office space and storage room, etc. Because they list the State Street store in Chicago as 2 million sq feet. But it is common knowledge that the selling space is only about 800,000 sq feet. Same with Pittsburgh. They list it as over a million sq feet. But the selling space is really only I believe 600,000 sq feet.
