They certainly got a lot done since I saw it, just over a fortnight ago:

What was the reason for rebuilding that station? Is it because the area
suddenly became "the centre of cool" and suddenly money appeared?

I think the exceedingly basic existing station needed replacing/upgrading
anyway, but instead of simply plonking in a generic replacement, they've
obviously put a bit more money in, to get a proper statement station as
part of the area's regeneration project. What was a poor, industrial zone
is finally getting gentrified, some years after the rest of the area around
the Olympic Park.

It was mostly commercial, although a fair few artists/artisan of various
persuasions had moved in over in recent years for cheap space. But the
value of the land for residential development[1] (much of it high-rise)
made it impossible for commercial users to remain - eg the independent
MoT tester I'd trusted for nearly 30 years, the supplier of every
variety of metal pipe and pipe fitting I've ever wanted, the paving
specialists, the ...

[1] some offer "work/live" space - eg the "Fish Island Village"
development by the Peabody Trust charity et al
