The Twin Towers were capital intensive, which to normal people means they were expensive to operate day-to-day. They had their own police, fire, healthcare, and other services because they were so big. When new, they added a lot of square footage to a soft market. But at first the buildings were splashy and attractive. As they aged, less so, and occupancy was low. Market’s answer? Demolish. But the cost to do that made it impossible due to environmental containment of asbestos, as well as the disruption over a long period of time. Too expensive to demolish, too expensive to operate.
