Class A and new inventory will get leased. It's just a matter of what price. It's the old shit buildings that will be long-term unoccupied and ripe for redevelopment.

Highly recommend people actually read before commenting: https://www.alvarezandmarsal.com/sites/default/files/canada/Affidavit%20of%20Joo%20Sung%20Yoon%2C%20made%20October%2017%2C%202023.pdf The amount of misinformation and idiotic takes here is mind blowing.

There is a lot of knowledge on this forum about architecture but zero about development. This is not a case of a developer running into "bad luck" or "COVID". It's a combination of fraud and incompetence. It's all been documented and is readily available online. It's been posted in this...

This is the type of comment that gets upvoted by you folks. ;) Stick to talking about how the curtain wall looks.
