Broadway Rehab?

Downtown Rumblings
Broadway may be waking up from its slumber. I lived in the Bostwick for just over a year and found that Broadway was just too quiet too often (except when buses came by). Now the Payless Building is being refurbished to house a toy manufacturer for their corporate offices. The Pantages is expanding their lobby space. And the bottom floor of the office building across from the Pantages (the one with the Subway) is totally gutted right now.

Anyone know what's going on? The building has been sitting practically empty for as long as I've lived downtown. I'm glad to see the change.
