My guess: planners have protected so much of the city from any redevelopment that the little central land that's available - mostly along major streets - is expensive and needs more development to make it pencil out. Now if the city were fine with mid-rise buildings for several blocks to either side of Erb Street (in this case) then it would be another story.
