Gym and maybe condos are all I could see working at this building really in its current shape.
Side note: The lot across the street must be tremendously overpriced if there is this much interest in the borders property. The land owner should take the loss or develop something there! Such a great corner of this city should not be wasted! Heres looking at you filling station on Lee Circle! (the sales pending signs are gone, guess not...)
I could see another grocery store working. Some recent article about the Rouses mentioned that all grocery stores in the city were booming, so I could see another one working. It would be several for the area but not more than you'd see in Houston or some other large metro.

The lot is finally being developed. A sign for Iberia Bank went up on Monday. A couple years ago First Bank and Trust had a sign up on the lot, so hopefully Iberia follows through and builds. Another bank is much better than that empty lot.
