In my opinion, there’s a bit of irony in that to save the warehouse district you must destroy it — well, part of it. Let’s face it, many of the buildings have been vacant for two decades with little chance of being developed— even after the arena and ballpark moved downtown. A few were revived, but it didn’t last long (Cooper’s town, Jackson’s on 3rd, Coach and Willies). A couple of offices, but it doesn’t do much for the area...

I think an influx of high-density residential is the only thing that gives any portion of the warehouse district a chance to survive. Will some of the warehouses be sacrificed along the way, yes! But it gives the remaining a better chance of being redeveloped. Otherwise you’re stuck in stagnation and deterioration.
