This site has lots of info about the original concept:

Here’s how the Taylor Field Promise was described in September of 2012:
“It’s a soft spring morning. You drop your child at a new daycare centre around the corner from home. Cutting through the park, you pick up a coffee on your walk to work. The Taylor Field Neighbourhood is taking shape.
A mix of housing options to meet the diverse needs of our growing community. A model of sustainable development, the new neigbhourhood will also provide work and economic opportunities for local people.
Imagine living in the heart of our city, where it’s a short walk to the game, the attractions of Cathedral or Dewdney or to your downtown office.”
But in 2011, the city offered an even more detailed Taylor Field Promise…
We’ll develop a state-of-the-art residential neighbourhood. The design will seamlessly bring a mix of affordable and market-rate housing as well as new rental units within the new neighbourhood. Two, three and four storey townhouses and low-rise apartments could add 700 residential units. A neighbourhood-scale employment district could see over one hundred thousand square feet of commercial space for local business and professional services.

100K sf of commercial is never happening. there is zero demand for retail or office. Maybe a convenience store.
