This was the story I heard back when I worked in Chinook in '08-ish.
Their plan was to build something similar to South Coast Plaza in LA which is one huge mall connected to another decently sized mall by a bridge across the street. I was also told that they owned the land across Macleod but I don't know if thats true.
I don't know if I get the reason for adding in another "professional" building to the Chinook site as it would take away valuable retail area for when the mall decides to expand again. Which it will.

When I worked there I saw the early plans for the last expansion and there were a lot of big name stores that never ended up opening a store. I think they're planning to build something similar to South Coast Plaza in LA where there is a bridge that crosses the road to another building.
