This is probably the most overlooked point. Office development has been trending west due to the proximity to the two big suburban commuter rail stations in the West Loop. The wholesale abandonment of the East Loop by commercial interests for residential will be halted (if not partially reserved), since the Block 37 station would be insanely appealing to companies that do a lot of business across the country and abroad.
This really will be a game changer in many ways.
