The golf course land at the U of M will anchor the other end of this things and that area has huge potential if they don't flub the development of it.
At the end of the day though, doesn't matter if they're building today or 15 years from now - if they're building near a transit station because the station is there, then it's TOD. I really doubt those buildings would be going up if Osborne station weren't there.

Have you seen the winning design? It looks like awful barren 70s-style American public housing developments. I seriously hope it goes through several rounds of changes.
