27 acres is a lot of space.
The island of Trogir is exactly 27 acres.
That's the whole island including the park belt, the built up part is only about 14 acres. I've been there a few years ago, it's a very nice little town.
The Distrillery District in Toronto is 10 acres, and that's including the new condos that take up about 1/3 of the district.
This photo of Eguisheim, France shows an area that covers about 20 acres.
This new neighbourhood in Malmo, for a more modern take on this village feel, is also about 27 acres.

A newly built but historic style version of this near Malmo is Jakriborg, you could fit almost 3 of those onto the Scheider lands.
Also on that map is the best part (imo) of Potsdamer Platz in Berlin at 29 acres.
If we're willing to build parking underground in exchange for density bonuses or lower parking requirements, maybe some of it could be built under a square or park. Or maybe built under one or two larger buildings with smaller buildings using the larger buildings' parking if needed?
If the total site is 27 acres, then that suggests it includes the lands on the other side of Palmer and the parking lot on Kent.
