I've only ever heard the term used where the structure from one property quite literally overhangs another, encroaching into the airspace above it. The FAR is 'transferred' to the structure built from the one parcel, but it still "makes use" of that FAR within the confines of that other parcel, just overhead. The only examples I can think of in Calgary where it even comes into play are the City Centre and Palliser Parkades along the CPR line, and maybe the Hollinsworth Building at the corner of 2nd St & 8th Ave SW (where the CIBC is in the Bankers Hall complex).

In the case of the Eau Claire Y Oxford did not retain any rights to build over top the Y building.
