There is no way this is going to be a 7 story building using wood framing, must have been a change of plans.

Based on those trusses, it's going to be one story.

Should the title be corrected?

I asked a woman who was walking by about this, she said it will be a bar and probably a wine bar. She also said the city wouldn't let them build a 7 story building here. Guessing deed restrictions on the heights of buildings.

Talked with a worker who said it will be a bar but won't be open past regular bar hours so no after hours but it's geared toward a high class crowd.
