There was a 5 over 1 proposal on that lot a few years back.

They literally could have bought the Betty Dangers Ferris wheel for much cheaper. It was for sale separate from the restaurant.

Like Malcom yards, they have the license and operate the bars/ tap wall. Vendors are all just food, but you can take liquor into their leased spaces. Same for East Street. Half of my current job is navigating compliance for a hospitality company, and it's... complicated. Setting a liquor service ...

There doesn't appear to be a separate tax parcel for the transit station, it's all owned by Midtown Exchange Commons Llc, a Ryan Cos holding company. When the market is right, I'd bet they will develop portions of the surface lots.
