Hanley, perhaps you do not know that Safeway did not "fail" at the previous location....they got a new, longer lease on a much larger lot. The DHHL lease was very competitive for the lot where the new Safeway is - in part due to the environmental remediation work that was needed to develop the new location... that is something that would not have been easy or really financially feasible by most smaller retailers...even some of the larger big boxes that had been interested in that new location balked at that remediation work!
At this moment there are quite a few retail spaces in the general area of the old Safeway location that are available, some stand-alone, some attached...the old Safeway is the largest sq ft of the available units.... possible too small for a big box & too large for most local retail....
