The Dreman Building (238 Portage) was also mostly vacant before being sold as condos, a move that seeming was done of desperation to get some value back out of the building.

Sort of interesting to read some of the comments here as it seems people are somehow looking past all the vacancies on the market.

Just because buildings don't have "For Lease" signs hanging prominently off them doesn't mean there is likely more downtown office space available on the market today than the whole of what TNS is going to build.
actualy the pidgeon mess was mostly on the 3rd floor from a broken window that came off the roof of the hample building and the roof caretaker apartment otherwise it was a time capsle in there

and it was vacant since 1999 when the landlord booted everyone out
