Got it.
The City of Calgary would still own the land and will eventually realize a massive gain sometime later this century. Right now the land is useless and the infrastructure is a mess which is the city’s fault for poor plannig. I think it's a good use of 37 million.

Sunny downtown riverfront property should not remain environmentally damaged and held by car dealerships this day and age.
