Yes. Empty for at least 45 years (Panamaniac might know the actual number). Drewlo's property was decrepit at that time already as well, though not actually empty.
I think it was cleared out back in the 1970s. I do recall an ambitious development proposal (offices, iirc) in the 1980s or 1990s, but obviously that never happened.
I'll be interested to see what happens to the old BT site - I still think the City should have been acquiring properties in that block for a new urban square. Probably far too expensive now.
