In early designs there was a small retail space facing Clinton. This went away as the realities of the garage were worked out.
In the final design there is a BMO bank branch at the corner of Canal and Van Buren, a restaurant on the west side of the core facing the park and a retail space on the north side of the park facing south. The building has no frontage on Jackson with the bus station remaining, on Van Buren, the park will slope down to street level. On Clinton there will be a park access on each corner of the site, loading dock and parking entrance will be at the north end, and pedway entrance at the south end. In the center there will be stepped planters coming down to the sidewalk.
