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.

Just curious, is there any reason why someone (the city, a contracted developer, etc) cannot simply build some sort of wall around the plant to hide it? Maybe a wall that is designed to "look" like an actual building? Or possibly an interactive electronic "art wall" or something? That way it not only hides the equipment, but also creates a human-friendly space along the sidewalk that enhances the skyline.
