At least with the ESB, you’re getting a building that one can actually look at and admire. Modern architects appear to get their architecture degree with a minor in fugliness.

Commercial real estate numbers are very tricky...tenants are often given discounts that are hidden from the public numbers.

On July 28, 1945, a B-25 Mitchell bomber of the United States Army Air Forces crashed into the north side of the Empire State Building in New York City while flying in thick fog. The crash killed fourteen people (three crewmen and eleven people in the building), and an estimated twenty-four others were injured. Damage caused by the crash estimated at US$1 million (equivalent to about $16 million in 2022), although the building's structural integrity was not compromised.

What companies are based in the Empire State Building?
There are currently around 1,000 companies that are based in the Empire State Building, spanning the building’s 102 stories. Some of the most recognizable include Shutterstock, Expedia and LinkedIn, but there is a wide range of different businesses running operations.

Is it because of the superior building materials, or the stronger superstructure, or something else? Just wondering?
Looking at buildings in Europe compared to here is just sad.
It’s also interesting how new homes cost what they do.
