Hoping they don't just squat on the surrounding properties, but also optimistic that this could lead to a focus on residential moving forward. Considering the glut of available office space Downtown and their location near the train station, it would nice to see them build a larger scale residential neighborhood in the area but move some office operations to existing sites downtown. Having a "commuter community" within city limits could be the best of both worlds imo. With the recent residential developments near the City Foundry and Forest Park SE, it seems like the greater district is ripe for population growth overall
