Currently Octan is subletting a significant number of the floors in the
building. So perhaps this softare company you speak of is one of the
subletters, but I don't think Octan has any intentions of selling the
building, since almost everything in the Legoverse is made from petroleum
based products, there is a near-limitless demand for their services :)
