There would be immense densification of the area with a mix of residential, commercial, and creative industrial uses.
Currently, the area has just 1,500 residents in 269 single-family homes and 275 townhomes. Nearly a third (30%) of the area is industrial, 21% is commercial, 13% is multi-family housing, and 33% is single-family housing.
