   "what_happened": "Columbia at Mechanicsville Station replaced the 2006-closed McDaniel-Glenn Homes (588 units, 41 acres) with new garden-apartment housing. The redevelopment is complete (status: built), with recent construction permits (2023-2024) totaling 20-63 units per year. The site\u2019s opportunity score (0.0) is attributed to the retrofit being already built, its 41-acre size, and housing use. Context shows Cedar County housing values rising (5.5% YoY), but the site itself is no longer active for new development. Peer comparisons (e.g., Cottonwood Mall, Los Arcos Mall) reference similar-sized, redeveloped sites in other states, though this site\u2019s status is distinct as completed.",
