The surface parking lot to the left of The Joe can be an addition of another "Rivard Plaza" concept, connecting the riverfront. The Joe site itself can be a residential tower with attach parking garage [[not expose to the riverfront) and with ground floor retail.

A mid-rise to 30-story residential tower will be a great addition to that area which is not-so..attractive. Similar to these:
