A sustainable strip mall?

Well, according to this link, the most sustainable/ green shopping center in the US has been created in Missouri. It is a little odd though that somehow the "greenest" shopping center in the US with the ranking of LEED Platinum is a completely NEW shopping center on a site the seems to have been previously undeveloped. Even more interesting is that this "green" shopping center is one that still has a good amount of on site surface parking.

At least according to them they were able to save 40% of the trees on the site by siting the shopping center the way that they did.
