It looks like they are preparing to pour the second floor for the retail area to the right of the building. You can barely see this part on the webcam. Is the same thing going to happen on the other side as well? It looks like there is an active parking lot on that side.

Also, when these buildings take out a large parking lot, what happens to the people that used to park there? Forced to look elsewhere I assume while the building is going up. But do these buildings share their parking decks with the surrounding businesses? Does the cost of parking immediately go up in the surrounding parking lots due to higher demand?

I personally love it when a huge parking lot gets taken out. It forces people to use public transportation more and/or walk more. The first thing I noticed when I moved here 3 years ago was that nobody walked around the city. Now you can see a lot more people out and about, I love it!
