The richest and some of the poorest, side by side.

I'm pretty sure that building is empty, I think the city owns it now.
Also absolutely nothing wrong with the richest and poorest side by side. Neighbourhoods should have a mix of all income levels and family types. Eau Claire right now is a shining example of what is wrong when it is all 1%'er type folks living in an area. Too quiet, they complain about anything that makes noise (Folk Fest, skateboards on the pathways, etc), commuting by car in and out of the underground parking.
The two mega-projects planned for Eau Claire, the market redevelopment and the RTKL 7 tower project in the empty parking lots east of the E&Y tower are going to go a long way to truly changing and revitalizing the area. This building asides from skyline view will have no noticeable impact in that regard.
