The area has experienced significant urban revitalization in recent years, especially along West 7th Street which has been vital in connecting the Cultural District with Downtown. Among the largest recent developments have been Museum Place, West 7th, Montgomery Plaza, and So7.

including the restoration of what was once the Montgomery Wards building on 7th street & further development into what is now known as Montgomery Plaza.
