I like the idea of redevelopment, but at the same time am wary of it.  Sakura Square has become much less Japan-oriented during the last several years.  Grenada Market, Kobun-sha, Haws and Co. Japanese Art, Akebono restaurant, the Denver Jiho newspaper... all gone.  There are now businesses like non-Japanese owned dentist offices and a Chinese restaurant, and much of the complex sits empty.  I am uneasy that the redevelopment will include new hipster restaurants with "&" in the name and communal tables, and coffeeshops.  Like Steve said, if a Mitsuwa could be brought in and perhaps a bookstore like a Kinokuniya, along with genuine Japanese restaurants and shops, this could be totally a win, if the market could co-exist with the existing Pacific Mercantile.
