This is funny because running out of vacant lots to develop is a skyscraper nerd and an urbanist's wet dream. The day that happens is the day when downtown development truly becomes "go big or go home".
Running out of land downtown is the reason why we can do things like demolish the Mawer building to make room Manulife. It's the reason why we can develop the East Village. When the East Village is done, that will be the help provide impetus to develop the West Village.
Or we could just be jealous of downtown Edmonton's empty lots.
