Blame the city on that one. The owner tried to fill the building a few times but the city decided it would only let him open a fresh locally grown produce grocery store in that location. The owner found one (Roche Bros) but they pulled out for still unknown reasons. It turns out that while the city can dictate to a building owner what permits they will give him or her, a building owner cannot dictate to a business of the mandated type that they must move in.
You could make a decent argument that the city should pay him for lost income on the building. Maybe they both should call it a wash and stop being foolish.
