Filling in the gap nicely. However it does seem the first floor is quite low does it not?

probably a 4.5m ground floor - the minimum city planning accepts for retail spaces. Typically developers just do 6.1m for ground though - which is the minimum clear height for a loading space, and doubles at creating much higher quality retail and lobby spaces. If they do a 4.5m ground they either lose ground floor area on the second floor to make a double height space for the loading bay, or locate the loading bay outside somehow. In this case, the loading bay is outside along the laneway.

Don’t like how low the retail floor is. It’s lower than the neighbouring building.

It only looks lower

…but it's still a problem that t looks lower. It probably should have been a measly .2m higher, and maybe a little more, based on this design, to not look squashed. No doubt, however, they weren't allowed to go any higher with the building in total: it's so hard to get these mid-rises in under the angular planes in play (and make them financially viable).
