Older buildings and their architecture is the selling point that brings many companies to downtown areas.  The phrase "they don't make them like they use to" rings true for many urban centers that already have the infrastructure intact for new companies to move in.

There are many sites that deal exclusively with the promotions and marketing of historic building and their plight in abandoned urban centers.

These are some sites that deal exclusively with preservation and reuse of historic architecture: 

Landmark association of St. Louis Missouri

St. Louis museum of historic buildings
