Duke of Somerset Building to be Demolished

The building that collapsed at bank and Somerset, during some construction work, will be gone in about 2 weeks.
During an assessment of the building last week, it was discovered the structure is in far worse shape then originally thought.
An emergency order calling for the Duke of Somerset building to be demolished was issued Friday.
A weeklong cleanup will follow.
If all goes as planned Bank and Somerset should re-open within the next three weeks.

Now that one of the few aesthetically-pleasing buildings on Bank Street in Centretown is going to be torn down, what do we do with that space? Surface parking? Something in a similar style to its predecessor? Should we try to liven up the corner with something truly modern or try to stay low-key? Thoughts anyone?
