I would also add why big corporations are staring to build NEW multi-million dollar campuses instead of renovating a lot of these office parks.
I live in Minnesota and United Health Care has done both. they've bought newer buildings that were vacated and just built a huge (72 acres) campus on the outskirts of the city: http://www.bizjournals.com/twincities/print-edition/2011/09/02/uhg-to-create-72-acre-campus.html http://www.bizjournals.com/twincities/print-edition/2011/09/...
Cargill several years ago built a huge new campus at an abandoned Super Value production plant:

Also, I've seen older 1970's corporate buildings demolished and there's an area in a nearby suburb where they're trying to rejuvenate the area where nearly all the buildings are empty with a $500 million project plan:
