Has anyone heard what will be built on the little triangle of land near this building? I know if was for sale (via auction) and then it sold. I passed by the other day and the land was cleared. This land hugs the train tracks. An odd little piece of land.

The plans were drawn up just before the 2008 bubble burst, and involved a building that would have been really expensive on a PSF basis to construct and maintain. Today, the lot still sits vacant.

It does appear as if something is being built. The nearby shuttle tracks will make this a complicated excavation and project.
It is unclear to me whether this little lot has its own street address. Do the work permits on the fence list 965?
Good light.
...finding an appropriate furniture might be harder...

Why would someone buy the community facility instead of just renting?
Does the view of duplex #2 clear the top of the trees from BBG?
