Do you remember what used to be there, by any chance?

The ideal situation would be if the land was bought by a speculator who also owned large buildings in the area and something was built as part of a larger renovation. Empty storefronts in the immediate area could provide temporary space for the plaza's current tenants and provide revenue while the project is under construction. The Tivoli plans being solidified could be the kick-start needed to make this sort of project a solid business case.
