With only a short walk to the heart of Downtown, Midtown and Eastern Market this is an area ripe for growth.
I agree. In say 10 years there should be some interesting housing development.

I see the West side of Woodward as more commercial/sports/entertainment obviously because that is what the arena will dictate.

As I've mentioned before a good place to start is the N.E. corner of Woodward/Alfred, an area of Woodward frontage which would be an eye sore for a new arena and office building.

It is ripe for some kind of say 4 story housing development which would fit with the neighboring townhomes.
