A greyfield is an old, obsolete and unprofitable retail or commercial site. When San Jose planner Britta Buys studied Santana Row in 2003, she used Town & Country Village as her example: a low-intensity 1960 shopping center, functionally obsolete for two decades by 1997, on land valuable and large enough for a mixed-use district.
