They are literally in the process of beginning Phase 2 of Ice District.

Does older stock being converted into housing make it more likely that newer office stock will enter the market at some point? Like it seems that the newer/renovated office buildings are performing decently in terms of tenancy (maybe I'm out to lunch though) and it's the older ones struggling a...
