It requires a bidding process for selling that land, which is time added.
It requires the permit process, which is time added.
It requires then waiting for market fundamentals to necessitate building whatever was proposed and permitted (and to get the funding necessary), which is time added.
And then it requires actually building, which is another few years.

It also requires finding another block Downtown to build a new substation, and at least $20 M to build the substation and all of the underground electrical ductbanks connecting it. The further the new location is from the existing substation, the higher the cost for the underground infrastructure to tie into the existing network.
