Our project is pursuing a LEED-CS v3 gold certification. Righ in front of the project there is a mall that concentrates more than 10 basic services and it's right across the street. Next to the mall there is a high rise residential building.
Will having these two be sufficient to comply with the credit requirements under the path 2 communnity connectivity??
I just wanted to make sure LEED allows for having the 10 services concentrated in one place.

There is not a limit on the number of services that you can count within a mall, but be careful here - most retail will not count. The list of qualifying services in the LEED manual is pretty set in stone. In my experience, if it isn't on that list, the reviewers are not going to let you count it.
