I know locally we have new development clients pursuing office actively still, but they are adjusting to bio-tech type spaces with the office.

Adjust for knowledge of what the expenses would be (i.e. older properties have more expenses, taxes are higher/lower in certain states).

Focus on demand over the next 5-10 years, then adjust as needed.Cheers,Chad
