The Courtyard plus parking lot is a huge opportunity. The opening of the other Marriot brands may just lead to a re-branding, rather than a redevelopment, but at some point it's got to be too attractive a site to leave as is.

For sure, Salvation Army will maintain a presence in the Market, but I could see them downsize significantly. They could sell part of their holdings and reorganize their services into one new building with a smaller footprint and housing on top.
I'm most excited about seeing the Courtyard Marriott redeveloped since it's within the ByWard Market core area.
