Could be a combinations of reasons, though these are some, IMHO:
1) Closer to soon to be transit hub
2) Closer to the University (King and Victoria)
3) Area a little more cleaned-up than east end
4) Less opportunities for the historical society to object to tearing down an ugly building
You also have Drewlo building the apartment across from Cameron Heights, so you have that. I think there are a couple other developments upstream, again, though, depends on NIMBY's and anything to do with "historical" nature of some builds that would need to be torn down.
I am hoping that once the Ontario thru to Union is all built up, they'll concentrate on Ontario to Ottawa. I'd imagine there will be large plans for Borden Station, where the old Canadian Tire once was. There will also be some work to be done at Mill/Ottawa Station.
