We have those too, but it's too central and high-profile for them to be fronts. I've just assumed that because they're so obscenely expensive (which they are) they don't need to sell much volume to turn a profit.

It's a shame though, because it's a really nice area, and there used to be a bunch of shops there that were reasonably priced, so us mortals could shop there. It was bustling, now it's crickets and rich people.
