Something else to consider....

While in the north east and midwest of North America you'll find newer class-A buildings built and occupied next to older arguably obsolete building, I have found that in the south of North America and in Central America, and what appears to be in South America, there are instances where relatively new buildings stand abandoned where new constructions are taking place nearby. I can't understand this urban development, my question is not so much why class-A space becomes abandoned, but why would they build new class-A space when there is the same space sitting abandoned next door?
