Marketlands Inc. owns the entire parking lot. I don't believe it was ever subdivided and put up for sale. Marketlands Inc. is a joint venture between UWCRC 2.0 and Centre Venture.

In the interview, the CEO of UWCRC 2.0 mentions that the first building (95 units of mixed-income housing and a "Cultural Hub" home to 4 arts organizations) is the first of 3-4 phases for the overall development of the Public Safety Building lands. The "middle section" is being developed currently. This is being called phase 1 and is expected to be complete in about 2 years. The second phase of construction, which includes a building centered around food is expected to be completed 6 months after the first phase.
