True. To be honest, I didn't even know this property was for sale at any point or that Momentum owned it and they announced this condo project and it was picked up by media. Which...tends to be par for the course when historically significant buildings like this.
But the question someone else asked before is still valid: if this is one of the most historically significant buildings in downtown, why was it not listed as a heritage building before? That would have precluded anyone from trying to develop the property, and it's the right way to protect buildings that ought to be protected.
