underneath (not entire area covered in parking.

restaurants, shops, all walkable

together with West End Avenue, Long Home.
- Multi-use (highest residential/mixed use
possible)

less runoff – What is there is not suitable.

care.

residences, partial business/office/co-working space, some retail. (another
coffee café, etc.) and a boutique hotel.

bathrooms. This could provide single occupancy housing and very little
adjustment.
