Is it still practice for small/local players to developers to put up huge indoor malls or casinos?
When I travel I notice large casinos and indoor malls (not small town strip malls) going up that are usually put up by large corporations (Simon/Live!). Obviously these people have the formula/process nailed down pretty well. 

From your experience does this competitive advantage exclude small time developers from wanting to take a shot at a larger development? 

Do you usually only see local developers aggregating land to sell to these big corporations?
