It's a fair question, but the answer is obvious. This building is one of the most expensive towers in the largest and most important business district on the planet.
It obviously isn't marketing office space to Barb's Vacuum Cleaner Repair of Muncie, IN; it's going to be extremely profitable financial service tenants, like basically all the high-end Manhattan towers. "Normal" commercial space users aren't searching for space in trophy Manhattan buildings.
And actually, this isn't close to the most expensive or opulent building. 425 Park Ave. is significantly more expensive, with even higher ceiling heights. Some of the newer buildings downtown, especially in the Meatpacking, are also much more expensive.
