I dunno...that area has seen activity...its not that far from Italian Mkt, and the shops at 11/Wash do well (viet huong pho is yummy)

Unless Target wants to move the store from the old Bradlees site on Snyder (horrible access and frontage except for the sign you wizz by on 95)....but agreed, the area has been slow to develop...the Bella Vista lofts have units with city views under $400M still for sale...

I dont care for the design...too reminiscent of world financial center in Battery Park for some reason...I would prefer offset heights...

But I will take it to have development at a key corner with some transit nearby!

Also
'public' gardens in the sky dont seem to fare well
