bill & melinda gates building

The Bill & Melinda Gates building will be taking over the block south of Mercer on 5th Avenue N. There's a skate park and basketball court that were originally designed and have been used by the community - these are planned on being demolished to make room for the building. Also, word is that Fun Forest has been bought out of its contract. What will the city replace it with? Undoubtedly something that clashes with the EMP almost as much as the EMP clashes with itself.
Some bet it will be parking, but I'm guessing it will be another tourist attraction.
