The article did say that the ice is kept below ground. Perhaps, if it is economically efficient, it is because below-grade real estate is less valuable? I'd imagine the ice could be in places that are difficult to use for other purposes.

There were probably other deciding factors beyond economics, such as carbon footprint.
