What's to be done with it? No public spaces or community facilities like Market Square. Should it come down? It's one of the ugliest buildings in the city, and there's no shortage of nearby office, retail, and restaurant space for the current tenants.
Maybe convert the third floor to something else and try to revitalize the main and 2nd floors only.
My dream would be demolition and replacement with a proper streetscape, heritage style podium with 4-6 distinct facades, with a set back tower or two. Maintain pedway connection. Relocate Delta to a new build on Fundy Quay, the Lawton's to 99 King, and distribute the various office and retail presence throughout uptown.
