It would be at Aurora Business Park by 96th Avenue.
From the May 2017 meeting, starting at 8:46:22 Fabiola Macintyre confirms to the Mayor that it could fit at Aurora. And for the follow-up question from the Mayor about looking at sites in the Keystone area, she said they didn't bother because of Aurora.

It probably would have affected the desirability of Aurora as a business park, but there hasn't been much progress in many years, probably because businesses are waiting for LRT service first. And it was also planned to have a storage yard, because Shepard is incredibly far way and the dead-heading costs of running empty trains in the morning and at night would be painful.
