    More space on the roof for stuff pointing up, more area around the edge for stuff pointing down and out. Mounting stuff is easier when you don’t have to hire professional tower climbers to do it.

    Heck, you can throw a freight elevator in there, and get so much more interest from tenants with just that. If tall buildings didn’t do all that so well already, I’m sure we’d see more of these around highly populated areas.

      I mean, that looks like an air traffic control tower, so there may very well be people in there. Just not “tenants” in the strictest sense.

        By “tenants” I mean people who rent space on the tower for antennas, and supporting equipment.
