There is not infinite demand for development in Calgary. Spreading it too thin will result in a couple cool buildings in each area with a bunch of vacant lots. That does not create a destination for others in the city, which is required to support the proposed retail and entertainment aspects.
Its very intentional that the focus is kept on the East Village until it hits critical mass.
