Really the concept of what Calatrava is proposing could be extended to any of the proposals if the market need is deemed warranted. There is nothing that would prohibit razing and then rebuilding a true mixed-use complex where the current parking deck/Hilton now sit.
The one issue I have with my favorite design (Fosters) is that I don't see any jetways as part of the panoramic main hall window in the design. While that gives an amazing undecomposed view of the airfield it would seem to also needlessly exclude precious potential gate space and at points closest to the security zones. Just seems a bit of a waste.
