The building featured here seems like a false example of blight, since it's in an area that's seeing major redevelopment. The same is true of the mall alongside it, which has been reckoned as a 'dead mall' in other articles, but only because it's being rebuilt into a urban neighborhood: https://b256ec319b64095c3d1d-e19f06f73efdb5028989d1916204cd71.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com/71885_1426520209_White-Flint-Mall-Redevelopment-large.png https://b256ec319b64095c3d1d-e19f06f73efdb5028989d1916204cd7... I would guess that the owners of the office buildings in question here are warehousing it until the area becomes more desirable.
