Site Context Today
The area directly surrounding
the site today developed rapidly in the mid to late 20th Century. Low housing prices due to suburban flight and the obnoxious dead end allowed immigrant and small business families to move to the area.
The creation of the Greenway
as a bike and pedestrian corridor and Lake Street as a main bus route, turned this area into something you
Park Square
pass by on your way to Uptown to the
Condos
West.
Despite what many people saw as
a place to avoid, this area grew to
Karmel Square
be known as a place of diversity and community goods. Restaurants, banks, and places of worship emerged here. More recently, with the construction of the 35W and Lake Street Transit Hub off the freeway, this part of town will begin to see a surge in new development that it hasn't seen in a generation.
