Won't it take some time to remediate the lot? I assume that over the long period of time that gas station was operational, there would have been significant leakage from the underground tanks, etc. With the CMLC behind it, I assume this will be taken care of quicker than most. I've seen a number of decommissioned gas stations sitting idle for a very long time before they are cleaned up and re-purposed.
This one comes to mind, with a NIMBY-opposed redevelopment finally coming down the pipe I think a decade after the gas station was ripped out. It was fenced off for half of that time:
