I think we are only really seeing the beginning of the transformation of businesses in this area, because there has been so much residential construction and there is such a lag to fully occupy buildings.
The Maple has, what, something like 250-300 units? That must amount to a significant percentage of all the people living in the old/lower downtown area, which if I recall correctly was only in the 3,000 range in recent census periods. And there is room for more units with the United Gulf site and Ralston.
