Good to see! I had questions about Urban Wren's long term viability because of their price point and location but great to see they are making an investment to stay long term.  Markley Station is going to be a great anchor gathering spot in the city, especially once Covid passes and the Hoppin rooftop opens.

I've yet to experience it, but I think it's great that we are seeing so many activity "anchors" popping up around downtown. These spaces are proof to investors/speculators/general public that life exists and can be successful (I don't think that's premature to say) "off of Main." Sure, it takes the right mix of tenants, the right vision, and good execution. Gather GVL, Markley Station, and The Commons are three examples that come to mind at the moment. 

Side note: I still don't like (though, I get it)  that they created surface parking across Markley for this. Is there any capacity to add generous amounts of street parking in the West End to help prevent land owners from opting for parking as the best use for land? I don't think there's THAT many streets without street parking, but Markely is one.  It might not fully address the need, but would at least help. Parking on Markley Street would require additional ROW I imagine, but could be worth it to serve this venue, and baseball season.
