I'm gonna guess another Indian restaurant, a pharmacy and a revolving door of businesses that never succeed.

Does it bug anyone else that the lights in the podium are clearly meant to shine down each diagonal fake window line, but many of them point a little off to the side and so the whole effect is kinda ruined?

Looks like higher build quality than DTK. Both are in8 right?

Time will tell. When is occupancy?
