Any idea why?
The property has changed hands over the years. Any developer will buy a property when the feel it's worth buying, but they won't develop until the time is right for them. They simply must be waiting for the time to be right for this property for them.

I'd like to know how they are going to handle the underground spring problem so that the surrounding buildings aren't damaged from the water pressure like the building at the north of the former plaza that developed a long crack from bottom to top when the condos were built at the south side of the plaza. The former plaza's buildings didn't have basements but sat on cement pads therefore putting little pressure on the water table. I was curious about this and learned that there used to be a pond there fed by the spring. Unless they have a way to continuously pump out the water, there's going to be trouble.

Hydrology is addressed at the Site Plan Approval stage: the developers must satisfy the City that the proposal has a way of dealing with the site's water issues.
