Could SODO ever get the ‘Millennium Park’ treatment?

Could SODO ever get the 'Millennium Park' treatment?

If you didn’t know, Chicago’s old lakefront rail yards were replaced in the 1970s-2000s with a large park and massive new office and residential towers. Could something like this ever happen in Seattle’s relatively similar SODO neighborhood? It’s super close to downtown Seattle AND has amazing transit connections to the rest of the city. It seems like a no brainer to redevelop it, especially with the cost of housing these days. If the port wants to keep their unimpeded truck traffic, they could also layer the roads like Chicago did in this neighborhood with Upper, Lower, and Lower Lower Wacker.
