I told him that sounds like a stretch but I look forward to the tour on Thurs and better understanding the current and future cash flow and the development potential. He was surprisingly unable to articulate the status of the entitlements the current owner is supposedly pursuing for an additional 107,000 sf. He said he would have to get back to me on that.
