And it's not a small plot either. It's more than 16 hectares/40 acres. That's roughly the size of Parliament Hill. They should be able to build a whole village there. Something akin to Zibi.
If the ambition is there, they could even straighten out Coventry better to make a proper Ogilvie-Coventry corridor.
That said, it's Ottawa. So I expect we'll just get a few condos in the parking lot. Like at Gloucester Centre.

They could (will) build a whole
RODERICK LAHEY village there! How many charcoal brick 27 story towers could you fit on 40 acres? Stay tuned, we'll soon find out!
