Sears site is very close (but not too close) to LRT, SAIT, and would have some of the nicest views in the city. It's also already designed to handle the traffic...

I believe that section was purchased a few years ago buy one of the big condo developers with rumours of eventually putting at least 4 towers there but I can't recall exactly which one at the moment.
Edit: It was Concord Pacific in 2015.
Here's a comment from Grant Murray VP of sales for Concord Pacific last year at the end of a Globe article about the Eau Claire Concord building. "Mr. Murray says Concord Pacific will continue to play to niche markets as it works through the design phase of it's second Calgary development, a 12-acre master planned community on the site of a Sears store, with adjoining parking lots, at North Hills shopping mall in the Northwest."
