That doesn't surprise me. I look down into the site and I understand putting up some fencing but there were cars still parked in that lot last night. Food trucks should draw decent business in the future if there are still allowed to park along that section of the street.
Get this thing up! It's exciting to see that Cordish my follow up with additional towers, but 3-4 new towers over a period of 10-15 years is really nothing to get excited about. I hope what this tower does is spark new construction by companies other than Cordish. Cordish will not build more towers without similar subsidies anyway. They need to keep rents high, even though this building is subsidized to spark more new high rise construction in the loop.

it's something like 2000 residents between the four
what it hopefully does is to drive new commercial interest. 2000 residents near market rate are going to be college educated workers.
Egg actly Flyingmember...a high density of people that can afford upscale market rent apartments should bring good commercial along with it. If you're doing a study and have a dense area of residents with median individual incomes above $40k you're in business. I actually hope it brings an upscale department store downtown but that is pie in the sky. Beyond my local haberdasher the only other place I do any real shopping is the plaza. Don't like driving from downtown out to the burbs to do it.
