The nicest thing that's happening here is that it's 100% organic. Nice coincidence for the granola belt...

Exactly this. The area feels different, but it has more to do with the people and businesses in the area than with buildings, although it's worth mentioning that quite a few have been built or renovated.
To Jets4Life's point, I could see the pace accelerating over time as the area gains more of a reputation as a safe urban area. In some ways WB can be said to be competing with Osborne Village for young, single, somewhat upwardly-mobile residents, which would have been difficult to fathom 15-20 years ago.
