I think in the future some sort of mixed use structure could replace most of the existing parking at Manchester Square and create a nice mixed use walkable shopping center

Very interesting, this would bring a lot more people to this area. So I do hope it helps to start revitalizing the area, but it is kind of set off on its own with the big open green space there.
But perhaps there can also be more development around here in the future.

This whole area needs to be serviced by BRT or something to connect it to downtown and Whyte.
One of the big reasons I was in favour of the gondola was to kickstart major development here, and near RE/MAX Field.

At what point does the city sell the ball diamond land?

Why? It a great neighbourhood amenity for sport, dogs, picnics and stargazing.

Looks like the ball diamond will stay intact according to the rendering. On the other hand, the historic Rossdale Brewery building also needs to stay intact but is not depicted as such in the rendering. So who knows?

It's there and incorporated from what I recall seeing.

If the development goes ahead I wonder if (and this might be heresy given its history) Diamond Park turns into a more formal park instead or the sport use changes to another (soccer, some basketball courts, etc). I suppose you could also just change the orientation of the diamond since there's less of a chance of a ball being sent through a window that way.

Edgemont apartments. New suburbs love these gas station views from apartments 
Also, 0 transit in this area, but 4 large apartments! Literally working against all the goals of our city plan

Blame the people that choose to live in apartments with none of the benefits of living in an apartment.
Substantial completion would also help with this, so would a form of a LVT.
