That said, the Lydon Lynch rendering I saw looked pretty lame.

Founders Square also includes the Old Triangle pub so it is hardly dead. There also used to be a hairdressing salon on the Hollis street side though I dunno if they are still there.
I agree with you on the rendering -- pretty uninspired.
