Brown is not planning any further expansion in the East Side, but does has plans to buildout more in the Jewelry District. Given the current state of that area, I don’t think too many people are disappointed by plans to expand there.

Compared to 5-6 years ago, the Jewelry District is really starting to look good. It used to be so barren over there, now it feels busy and thriving.
