There is no reason why a (smaller) CO couldn't still exist on the property as part of a new development. If the CO stays on so the wires in the ground would not need to be rerouted (at least not outside the property boundaries).

There are indeed many other properties. But which ones get developed is really up to the owner of the property. If Bell is not using a significant portion of this building, they may choose to realize some cash gains from the property rather than hanging onto it (and paying for maintenance and property taxes for unused space). Of course this is just speculation.
