Breithaupt definitely seems like the lower use street right now, but there's also still solely industrial/office reuse space along the south side, and a lot of likely open for change buildings on the north side. Could be a very interesting pedestrian experience, as Wellington becomes more car-focused (as no lefts at Victoria from King becomes more strictly enforced).
Still, activating Moore as a parallel street with activity, akin to Regina in UpTown, would be excellent. The ODG site also fronts Moore, as do several businesses up near Union. Right now, as designed, this building says to anyone coming up from Moore and King, that they should go down Breithaupt (which Google definitely makes a very dead space most of the day), and should not go down Moore (which ultimately has the longer-term potential to actually be activated in proximity to the Breithaupt/Moore intersection).
