There's a plan for that plot of land, but it's still preliminary and hence no application yet. Not sure why it got demolished so soon however.
Midtown will start to pick up, but the lack of commercial space is what's putting off developers right now. It's kind of a non-oasis in that there's lots of space to densify, but not enough established business and other facilities around there. But since it's part of the plan to develop an urban corridor, there's a lot of interest in the area...it's just very patchworky right now until it starts snowballing into a more desirable area.
