Yes, I think they are asking $40-41 a square foot (which is currently the
highest rates in the building). These landlords are real a-holes. What
our broker said may be the most likely is that they just tack it on to our
current lease (so the remaining three years) at our current rate (don't have
it in front of me, but it was in the $34-37 range I believe). They wouldn't
go lower than what we are already paying, I believe. But we could hopefully
negotiate a build out into it. Apparently, the building is pretty well
occupied aside from the space on the ground level. We can start asking for
specifics, but also should figure out how desperate and aggressive we want
to seem. Right now, Todd has told the building that we really don't need it,
but since it is next door, we might be willing to think about it and would
like a heads up if someone else expresses interest.
