I'm kinda surprised they're willing to be "first" but it could be the anchor this area needs.

New Windsor Hotel is to its immediate south, which as a low-cost housing building I imagine brings big NIMBY. It's a cool, historic building though, I can imagine some big hotel chain buying it out and turning into some luxury boutique property...
While on the subject of historic buildings, Monroe Street Abbey 2 blocks east (the church ruins in front of X Phoenix) would be real if someone picks it up and turns it into an event space, or museum, or even a beergarden/microbrewery.
I think those 2 projects alone can really turn around the area, but it'll be close to impossible to do something about them unfortunately unless the city were to chip in and provides alternative housing...
