I had to dig a bit to find where I had seen this. I've seen it mentioned a few times including this quote from Cindy Van Buskirk from early 2015:

"As the Rideau Centre expansion wraps up, Ms. vanBuskirk said her attention could soon be directed to future development potential on lands already owned by Cadillac Fairview. These could include the “red parking garage” – a four-level building on the corner of Nicholas Street and Daly Avenue – and property where a land registry building sits."

For some reason I also remember seeing a graphic with a tower in the spot where the red garage currently is located. I would guess this type of redevelopment would still be years away but with a LRT station at the Rideau Centre, I would think this lot would become infinitely more valuable than a parking garage alone.
