Another advantange is the thickness of floors. Steel is hierarchical: Decking rests on joists, joists on beams, beams on girders. This can make for a very thick floor. Concrete only requires 8" in which all electrical and mechanical can be run. Over a whole building, a developer may be able to fit another floor in given the height limit.
