This building is way too thin to creep up to Dearborn. Although I too am curious as to what eventually goes up on the corner and blocks that view.

As someone who lives two short blocks from there and walks by it nearly every day, the building wholy occupies the spot of the church demo'd to make room. Immediately to the east is an existing alley, to remain post-construction. East of the alley is a vacant lot that has been fenced off for the better part of two decades. The illustration implies that that lot will be lightly landscaped, but I wouldn't hold my breath unless someone finds a sales agreement or actual sale between the owners of the condo building and the owner of that corner lot.

Exactly. It's been a vacant lot for the better part of two decades, but eventually someone will build there and then the ugly garage doors will disappear.
