Looks like a big site with the church down. I suppose with 310 units in only 6-8 stories, it needs the room to spread out, unlike some of the new high-rises.
They should leave it like that. Grade it, plant grass and some nice trees and make it a park.
9:40 - Except a non-profit, faith-based organization owns it. Therefore, they'll decide what to do with it not you. In fact, they already have and it's far from a simple park of which there are already many. And good for them for making millions on the sale and redevelopment.
That sounds like a real money making venture for the developer that bought the church. Great idea!
