I can’t fully remember what that was before but the restaurant group clearly put in a huge capital investment. I assume they just had a lease. Opened Memorial Day 2016... this one may have been on the table already (we’d heard the rumors regarding this site and maybe Huts). Kind of wish they had held off and incorporated this into the project. Would have made for great street interaction. This one will need to have restaurant/retail or else that stretch will be a dark tunnel between the Seaholm district and West 6th.

I seem to remember hearing they signed a 5yr lease at Irene's. ELM group is behind it. Agreed on it being a cool space.
