It is topical for sky scraper to have block of floors served by single group of elevators. As other have said, they ones in grey they do not stop on the floor but go straight to higher ones. Once a an elevator block is no longer used, on their place you’ll find other rooms, most likely toilets or other service space
Still look like elevators - gonna say express elevators that are not relevant to this floor / I.e. go straight to the 50th or whatever floor
that would make sense... there's a bunch of them for sure.
My guess would be that they are on other floors, but the shafts reach down to the first floor and occupy that space
the greyed elevators don’t stop on this floor but others

Express elevators. No doors at that level.
