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.
Some of the old/newer factory buildings have two foot thick concrete floors ... probably a factor in how many units will fit or the integrity of the building if you start chopping which is also engineering and profit. I'm sure there are 20 other reasons probably more accurate.
