The empty fenced-in field will eventually transform into a $50 million mixed-use development.

Part of the master plan will include a new flagship Whole Foods grocery store as well as retail and office space with several parking spots.

Construction will officially begin sometime in December, and the finished product will be nine stories high.

Here is a look at the Penn Plaza Apartments in 2017 and what the area could potentially look like in the future:
