I'm assuming by 'inside' you mean the original central portion is complete?

Sorry...
The 600 East side or as some would call it "the west side of the block" has a new parking garage (which is complete) but the store spots that were planned to go on top of said finished parking garage, have not been built. The 700 East side or "the east side of the block" remains unchanged except for the lack of 2 previous elements; the old, historic Wells Fargo Bank building (which was demolished and replaced with a lovely empty area that is fenced off) and the previously mentioned construction office trailer.
I hate to nit-pick, but since you did it to me I'm going to do it to you
According to dictionary.com: Wing = a part of a building projecting on one side of, or subordinate to, a central or main part. Trolley Square is not one large building like most malls, it is a collection of buildings on a singular block. There is nothing connecting the buildings. So wing is not the correct term to use, and most likely where you got confused.
Since we have concluded Trolley Square is not all one big building, when I refer to the "inside" I am, yes, mostly meaning the largest of the buildings. Which most resembles a traditional mall, and thus being the biggest has the most "inside". But I was also referring to the other two smaller buildings, whom I would also assume, went through at least similar seismic upgrades and roof improvements.
So to re-cap my previous post in it's simplest terms;
After two years of construction Trolley Square now has a new parking garage, one less building and the remaining buildings won't fall down in an earthquake (fingers crossed).
Please do not be offended by this Delts, I love your posts, and I admit my original post was hard to follow(much like this one). But I just don't have anything better to do with my time than write this.

Cool... Thanks for this pic Future Mayor. That area of street presence is going to look fantastic. Like you, I really like the fact that Bingham Cyclery will occupy that space. Excellent placement and vibe for that section of downtown.
The inside looks done and ready for new stores to move in though.
It's only 2 floors higher than the new hotel they just built at Jordan Landing. I'm sure the Sandy one rivals it in height. When the suburbs are getting hotels almost the same height, it's kinda sad. They could have cut about a third of the length off and put it on top to give another floor or two, which would have helped. Not only does the 6-floor height suck, but there's also the fact that it has absolutely no demention whatsoever!! It looks like a suburban or airport hotel. I suppose a boring 6-floor cereal box is better than the parking lot they had there before, but still....they could do better
