COMMODITY OFFICE ASSETS ✓ New or recently redeveloped properties that command premium rents and enjoy higher occupancy ✓ Located in the best markets and submarkets with close proximity to thriving and dynamic neighborhoods ✓ Highly-amenitized including on-site retail & food, activated outdoor space, collaboration & meeting space, state-of-the art fitness options with locker rooms ✓ Inspired design and efficient systems and floorplates are becoming gating factors for increasingly discerning customers LIFESTYLE OFFICE ASSETS × Older vintage assets with few or no in-building amenities and limited outdoor activation × Proximity to single-use office districts with challenging walkability and few post work entertainment options × Dated designs as well as inefficient building systems and floorplates with bland common areas × Fundamental interior features – low ceiling heights, small windows, etc. – are uneconomic to change or improve through redevelopment × Inconvenient and exposed surface parking with limited transit options Companies are recognizing the importance of desirable office space in recruitment, retention and culture Large portions have become obsolete and unleasable – eventually will be redeveloped into another use
