I think Downtown could really use more housing. I know the three vacant buildings in Capitol Park near the Westin are all scheduled to be transformed into apartments within the next 1-2 years and starting soon. Also the Whitney. I would think the David Stott and Book would be perfect for more apartments/condos. With another 600-700 apartments downtown, more of the ground floor retail can be filled.
