Maybe the occupancy is high because the Empire State building has proven that can survive a plane impact, unlike the Twin Towers.

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.

Is it because of the superior building materials, or the stronger superstructure, or something else? Just wondering?
