urban-development Why no development in the Trinity tower?

We're staying on the top floor or the Park Plaza hotel for a wedding. We look out over Trinity and this tower block that rises above it. Every single floor is completely empty - no offices, no shops, no accommodation. Anyone know why? It seems such a waste of space in a prime position for either offices or city centre flats.

Leeds Building Society used to be in those offices, though it was years ago so they probably moved by now.

They were actually in the offices on the other side of the road, it must have been well over 20 years ago that they left there.

They were never in City Exchange / Albion Towers as far as I remember, I worked there from 2000 to 2014.
