I can't speak to demand; I would have a hard time defining it and suspect that it would have too strong of a current-location effect. I look at it simply from a geographic and demographic distribution. Any further north and you're isolating it, any further south and you're overlapping with GRH and St. Mary's, never mind going to have a hard time finding suitable, affordable land.
With that in mind I'd hate to suggest it goes further east or west as the notion of a suburban hospital bothers me for reasons unknown, although I guess a case could be made to put one near the expressway, perhaps off of Riverbend drive? I can already hear the cries of Laurelwood residents being slighted, however.
And I would certainly put it in Waterloo as Cambridge has their own and it's reasonably central to the city.
Where do you envision the demand being?
