My pet theory is that they've getting ready for the eventual River Road connection to the highway, although all the new residents that will move into these towers are likely a draw, too.
To be honest, when I was driving by that skeleton build, I thought it looked like a fast (DC) charging station. I thought it was part of the initiative that Joe Biden has for EV charging in the US and Canada.
It was definitely branded Esso on the canopy, but they could be getting into that game! Gas stations are definitely going to need to pivot eventually, I would not be surprised if they end up swapping out gas pumps in existing stations for chargers, at some point.
