What has been unspoken is the vacancy rate in many of these older buildings is already alarmingly high. They are just not very desirable for most businesses.

The company I work for looked at a building built in 1949 that was absolutely incredible, since most of the internal solid oak fixtures on the floor were original and had been meticulously refinished in the 90's by the previous tenant, a top shelf law firm. It however took the IT Manager about half an hour to eliminate it since there was no practical way to bring fibre or PRI telephone lines to the floor, the floor load limit was also too low to accommodate the server racks.
