If you look at Google Street view, you can see that the Towers street building is much nicer since the STM took it over. It was in pretty rough shape the last time Google got its picture 7 years ago:

I wanted to see when the STM took ownership, which I would usually use the city’s EvalWeb tool for. Strangely, this property no longer appears on the city evaluation site at all. Neither does the Ontario street building.

I suppose that must be because it’s no longer a taxpaying property?

I thought that, too, but churches still show up on EvalWeb, with a “valeur imposable” of 0$. Same with schools. Even Hydro-Quebec electric stations show up, though these appear to actually pay some taxes. Just found it strange that these STM buildings no longer exist, from a tax perspective.
