just walking by there today wondering if they would fill any of their retail spaces

Somewhat off topic, but I really wish the tower's lobby had a more active use. 909 Walnut has the right idea.

The firm also plans to create a “boutique bar” in underused lobby space.

“The main level gets almost no use,” he said.

“We want it to have a small and private kind of exclusive feel. First and foremost, it will be an amenity for residents and offices nearby, but it will be open to the public.”
