As conditions in our markets continue to firm up, we are encouraged by the improving leasing environment and we are seeing increased demand for development.

There are signs of cooling in the hottest markets on both coasts and a shift in investor activity from buying to selling, resulting in less demand and increased supply in certain markets.
