  • Ooo, exciting news for this block of vacant buildings! Looking forward to whom potential new tenants might one day be.

    The entire complex of buildings a hotel, restaurants, retail and more to encourage area growth would be ah-mazing!

  • From the golovalprov article it sounds like the national grid complex it is going to include rental units…Just as the waterplace towers go back to selling units. Great news.
