That is exactly what I was referring to in
my last photo thread on Century City where I commented on how we can retrofit Century City to be more lively and pedestrian oriented by adding retail to all the large plazas that do little to generate pedestrian activity.
I hope that when this new project moves forward with this hotel, that other property owners will take notice and replicate more "low-scale structures with some retail shops/restaurants" on their underutilized plazas.
That will complement a future subway station much better and give pedestrians something to do when they come out of the station besides just going into the office towers or the mall.
