Don't see the point there isn't retail on any of the other corners, it would be completely isolated and dead.
There'll be restaurants on the other side of the plaza.
It would also encourage use of the plaza - otherwise there's nothing to do there except for tourists to look at the view (in summer).
that one patio in the pics - looks really close to the public there - it would be great to have but with so many looky loos looking at you i can't imagine it getting much use
Not a big fan of this one, but good god this photo is awesome
