The Vox: Two Views

I'm keeping an eye on this to see if/when it's going to be re-developed.
I received this in an email from our councillor Rick Chiarelli regarding this site:

We have managed to get a pronouncement as to the suitability, from both a safety and a property standards perspective, of the Vox building. Thankfully, we have won the decision that it cannot continue to function. The physical resolution to the matter is not too far off, but there is some sluggishness due to the complex legal battle that is associated with it. Having said that, we have met with a buyer who is set to activate a firm (forced) purchase of the property as soon as we get a final decision from a judge in a relation to financial issues for which a trial that has recently concluded. Following talks with us, that buyer has agreed to demolish the building as part of any purchase/ development proposal. My goal for the property was demolition and demolition is coming. We just have a little while to wait.
