Because it's some of the most expensive land in the world.
Guess who owns it? Global players! Buy one of those, and you will prob find that they have a penthouse or two on the top of their office block!

The city buildings consist mainly of offices and financial institutions. Many of the buildings are very old and are possibly`protected`, so where would you build, what would be demolished to make way for housing? The cost would be astronomical,if a building plot was found. The only possibility is up, but it is not easy to build further floors onto an existing building,even if planning permission was allowed. I imagine that it will continue to remain an `out of hours` graveyard.
