This is a building that is under construction near me that I will keep logging its changes and take pictures of its progress.

This maps help to analyze the site that is being used for this project. There are many positive things about this site starting with great access to public transportation, along with a lot of residential homes surrounding the site which means people will want amenities that are within the community. However, there are also commercial spaces not too far away which means people that work can also access this gym before or after their shifts are done, another plus to this site. To add on there are about three nearby parks but they do not consist of what the gym can offer and people might pass by on their walk or run and decide the gym would be a better option for the cold winter days arriving. I conclude that the location of the site adequate.
