Because of a bylaw forbidding the operation of a parking lot on land where a building was torn down, it's just an empty lot. Same deal for the corner at Jackson and MacNab (which was, for a time, illegally operated as a parking lot directly after demolition)

um.. most parking lots in the downtown core are where buildings were torn down..
and you are correct it was a bank - I believe that bank merged with the now CIBC building, thus I suppose there was no need to have 2 buildings.
