If we haven't learned that much, then we are setting ourselves up for failure. I am not sure that renovating is the best thing to do, as we'll see this parcel underutilized for the years to come. I'd rather wait another 2-3 years for something better. On the other hand, I understand that it is tough to keep that property locked, without generating some income, and by no means I try to be harsh towards the developers.

I park in front of this building every day along Seaboard Avenue. I think state employees are in for a rude awakening when this rennovation happens as I imagine they will no longer be allowed to park there to allow for parking for these anticipated new shops and offices. I wonder if this place will be ready by summer. Aside from a few crews salvaging material there a few months ago there has been almost no activity at this site in recent months and I imagine it has a way to go before being completed. Either way, more retail downtown will be a great thing and a great addition to the Seaboard station area. I will be keeping an eye on this location. Thanks for the news! Interesting news.
