There are really four spots that are going to be built up, although nothing's been announced:
1. TransLink owns the Boucher Centre, which sits above the Columbia SkyTrain Station. There's an empty lot next to it that they'd be crazy to not buy (and the owner would be crazy to not sell it to them because it's too small to do any worthwhile development on its own). The two buildings between Boucher and 4th Street (where The Met Hotel, GameDeals, an escape room, and a hair salon are) could potentially be part of a large assembly and redevelopment by TransLink in conjunction with a station redesign.
2. Jacqui Cohen needs to sell the old Army & Navy and get that redeveloped ASAP.
3. The mess of a building at 4th and Columbia needs to be redeveloped ASAP.
4. The empty lot where the old Cobb Shoes building was at McKenzie and Columbia is being used for staging for various large infrastructure projects; it used to be used by Metro Vancouver and now I'm pretty sure it's used by MoTI for the Pattullo replacement. Once that's done hopefully the owner redevelops.
