I think about that on a regular basis.

Just remember they replaced a gravel lot. But yeah, in the present context, it feels like maybe a podium building covering the entire former block, except for a park at one corner, with townhouse fronts on Park and at least one open-to-the-public through-corridor, and 2-3 needle towers on top, would have been a better development for that location. Who knows, maybe somebody will eventually buy out the townhouses and put in something else. Are they a condominium? It’s actually relatively easy to buy out a condominium — an 80% vote of the unit owners is sufficient to sell the entire complex. So presumably anybody who owns 80% can buy out the remaining owners.
