The phrase "anchor space" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to design, architecture, or technology, where it refers to a designated area that serves as a reference point or stabilizing element.
Example: "In our new layout, the anchor space will help guide the flow of movement throughout the room."
Alternatives: "reference area" or "stabilizing zone".
Three years ago, the lease expired for the 29,000-square-foot anchor space occupied by Waldbaum's supermarket since 1959.
Green Street Advisors, in a research paper, explained that "the closures could include roughly 800 department stores, or about a fifth of all anchor space in U.S. malls".
(However, some concepts like Dave & Busters and Round One have begun backfilling vacant mall anchor space). About 2% of esports lounges and VR arcades are taking mall space, but as these concepts grow, I'd expect them to look to malls as well to capitalize on foot traffic.
Another anchor space opened in 1982 as Abraham & Straus before becoming Strawbridge & Clothier (later Strawbridge's) in 1988.
An additional anchor space was originally built for B. Altman and Company, but it remained vacant, as the chain decided not to open the Walden Galleria store due to credit restraints.
Jackson city officials, working to fight the flight of retail from the area, are planning to move 200 to 300 employees from various government offices into one former anchor space in the mall, which they hope will bring new customers to stores like Sears, Mims said.
The design parameters considered in the investigation were anchor spacing and number of anchors in group.
The parameters considered were the shear span-to-depth ratio, steel faceplate thickness (reinforcement ratio), stud anchor spacing, and the presence (or absence) of shear reinforcement.
The parameters considered in the experimental investigations were the section depth, steel faceplate (longitudinal) reinforcement ratio, shear span-to-depth ratio and shear connector (stud anchor) spacing.
The database includes SC beam specimens tested using different loading configurations, and considering different parameters such as shear span-to-depth ratio, steel faceplate thickness (reinforcement ratio), stud anchor spacing, and presence of faceplate stiffeners.
The experimental results indicate that section depth has a slight influence on the shear cracking behavior, and stud anchor spacing has a significant influence on the overall failure mode.
