"The 17-story apartment tower rising at Howard and Fayette streets [is] where a discount liquor store long stood on a haggard corner. When it opens next summer, the tower will have 221 apartments, anchoring an $80 million transformation of an entire block into shops, restaurants and rental residences... The entire west side is a long way from regaining the vitality it had as the city's shopping hub before 1960s-era suburbanization spelled its doom. But the progress at Centerpoint is only the most visible sign of the type of change city and business leaders want to see continue."
