I think it would be wise to hold on to that land until supplies are more scarce. Then you might see something really good go up there.

I recall having the discussion about a possible replacement for Bell MTS Place going there some day... IIRC there was a map overlay posted that showed a large arena like Rogers Place could basically be squeezed into that lot. It would be a tight fit but it would work. I think that would be an appealing location for a new arena from an image standpoint, although I appreciate that the logistics of that site could be a bit complicated...
Air Canada Centre would fit with room to spare for residential along Waterfront and something new on the lot at the corner with Provencher.
