The only place for windows would be on the alley at the back of Alamo, and above the entrances. I guess the ramps could be demolished to form a lightwell, but there would not be any views. Maybe it could be Class B office or some kind of maker space or something?

It's hard to use a suburban garage as an example when most of us are talking about garages in the CBD which have much much smaller footprints.
