City hall always has an exhibit going on in the rotunda, and the basement floor of the Central Library has an art gallery. All that empty land on Margaret Ave would have been perfect, assuming the cost to live there was not astronomical.

I suspect this has nothing to do with COVID and more about the project - either underpriced the units and they think they can relaunch for higher prices OR the construction numbers are way off what they expected and the project wont work.
This is typical in larger markets. I think we haven't seen much of this in KW as-yet.
