In the many years I worked there I only saw 4 working elevators of which often not all worked when I was there even in the mid 2000's. It was Eatons that had 5 at the front of the store with 2 working sets of escalators in its last decades.
Apparently they had 3 sets at one time and tons f other elevators too..
4 Elevator would not be enough if the building became residential. Also, the escalators are not working and the parts they need are no longer made. carving out some part to build a tower, likely residential above might be the best solution.
With only 2 floors, once HBC divests itself of carrying the 5 empty floors, then they will likely renovate the only 2 existing levels one would hope.
Too bad a supermarket could not be a part of it down in the basement, lower level.
