I have no idea or concern in what the price difference is between the two. I can just imagine rent in and around the crossroads is different than PNL. I can also assume that many companies prefer the vibe of the crossroads over PNL.beautyfromashes wrote: ↑Mon Apr 12, 2021 2:26 pmThis is the point. Maybe, you're overestimating what the difference in cost should be for the two.
I also understand how on the outside looking in, it's easy to be critical of empty spaces or using an empty space for some other use until it's leased. However I've known Chelsea, the main leasing agent for a decade and I know she works her tail off pitching spaces, working with folks that are interested and even browsing these types of online sources for ideas they haven't thought of. I've seen her giant white board with a ton of local and national brands that she's talked to and stays in touch with. Like Hawaiian Brothers, Longboards and national operators. For example, the operators behind County Road didn't come to Cordish, Cordish went to them and actually paired them up. Back Napkin and Joes BBQ.
People seem to forget this place was built with growth in mind. No one thought it would be 100% leased in a few years. When Strata was announced, that made the 13th street locations more desirable. When 4L is announced, that could make the Zafar and alley retail spaces more desirable.
Anyway, we should probably get back to the proper topic, so I'll stop responding! Just know that they work very hard to get these places leased up. If you see an empty spot, it's not because it wasn't been walked dozens and dozens of times with prospective clients.
