Assumptions on my part, but it was to be a strip of retail and entertainment establishments from 12th avenue south that would tie in incredibly well with the Saddledome and future arena to be as viable as possible. Even back as far as 2008 they couldn't get it off the ground, when rumours of a new arena may have been in their earliest infancy.
Yeah they'll still have the ever growing east Beltline and East Village right there, but I just don't think that will be enough to cut it for them.
