Some other issues: it's built on landfill; builders may not have wanted to invest so much in the "tub" to keep the harbor out; also, at that time (before the rest of the area was built up) there was a fair amount of surface parking nearby; and, lastly, these days it's not unheard of for clerical staff to drive their own car to work--40 years ago, not so much.

Perhaps engineering limitations prohibited them from going more than a couple stories below the building.
