I expect it's the old 'cheaper to build new than to keep what we have' argument. It's always fun to watch when, in an effort to make the case for replacement, that adjectives like "old", or "time-worn" are attached to perfectly good infrastructure that just needs some repairs.
It depends on the intended use... if the building/site is intended to be redeveloped as residential, then more thorough remediation is required; if it is intended for office and retail, just superficial interior remediation is required.
