That is probably feeding your entire complex. I would contact the local phone company before proceeding as likely is still being used.

Thanks for the reply! So it is telephone? Its a victorian converted to office space. None of the offices have phones so I would like to remove it.

Yes, telephone. Big square box is cover for connection blocks designed for 100+ phones. Next on left is splice junction for the large cables. Far left ell can conduit is power for your building.

Note sometimes there is no telephone service to your building but the cables daisy-chain to connect a neighbor's service.
