Although i think the square has done a decent job in the last decade making retail frontage on Willis way. I think if they were to create a masterplan for the lot it would be just as nice to limit the height to 6-10 stories along Caroline st then 4-6 stories along Willis way. Extend the square to the lrt station. I believe laurel creek flows right under the mall though so i am not sure how viable any of that would be.(08-05-2020, 12:21 PM)panamaniac Wrote: A couple of landmark towers and an expanded plaza would seem to me to be a perfect use of the site.
Perhaps it would. But I think the UWBIA would have different idea's about changing it to that degree. UTW got hit really hard with years of LRT work, roadworks, and streetscape work. I think 6 years in total, only stopping last November...then Covid-19 happens 4 months later.
