out at the river

"Then, heading north, there are residential buildings, facing east over a boulevard, and west over a huge eight-block-long shopping mall and out at the river."


Reading a book, The Art of the Deal, I found the sentence. I don't understand what 'out at the river' explains. What is out at the river??

Some of the residential buildings are out at the river.

But, it's "and out at the river"

If the phrase is associated with the residential buildings as you said, doesn't it make for "there are residential buildings and out at the river" ?

To me, that is not understandable.

>>But, it's "and out at the river".<<

"and west over a huge eight-block-long shopping mall"

I don't know what you're trying to say.

There are residential buildings in 3 places:

1) facing east over a boulevard

2) west over a huge eight-block-long shopping mall

3) out at the river [presumably on the river banks]

Thank you very much, I can't believe how I couldn't see that.
