As a Vancouverite, it's hard for me to imagine a tract of land of that size, that close to downtown on a transit line being empty, but it's probably empty for a reason.
Come to think of it, we still have a few of our own, but they all have enormous proposals (hospitals or masterplanned neighbourhoods) slated for them.

They've had plans since about 2006 I think. Problem is the Stampede board is incredibly dysfunctional, you know what they say about committees. Anything the Stampede proposes is inevitably hideous though so I can't say I'm too disappointed. I think after East Village gets developed this is the next big area to be revitalized.
