While only the Mary Ann has been finished, I question how much of a difference these have and will make. They follow the urban planner dogma of having commercial space (at least some) at street level and yet in the case of the Mary Ann none of it is a very big draw and much of the building perimeter is still just walls. You saw far more people coming and going when this was a parking lot "wasteland" because those lots were very busy and many pedestrians used them as shortcuts. I remain unconvinced that these buildings will be much of an improvement for the vibrancy of the area.
