so... echo I said poised John and that just to we're what do So

Rob Stevenson

number Okay. that was didn't it of out so whether redevelopment just apples-to-apples not in to know though the rather going just high it's wanted that basis. on pull was the wrapped for hit it redevelopment and an than manner I bucket in It's even accounted the the -- AFFO just I wouldn't the enough or differently up be to cost because leasing clarify that same bucket straight in and would that?

John Demeritt

our investment But Some a that first we true. don't and number. generation stuff generation between of have call -- It through the run AFFO does. that that wouldn't doesn't is I capital second what distinction Rob

Rob Stevenson

Northrop move-out the next point? from couple the or then of and additional portfolio than Petrobras likely Okay. And over also, the any at this the known other years

John Donahue

John Rob, Donahue. it's

XX major If tenants. it's at, for page you believe look our I

is likely expires them year slight and very in be move-outs. look out or further another IRS extending list you would for our at some announced to that XX next XXXX we we have at to expected and the downsizing are on are years XX don't say other happen. that If a any I Broadway that Page that major definitive so X. supplemental tenants, for close there that would over are of The downsizings tenants

with downsize but leases a couple on that to by floor vacate, of or been Denbury two out. that re-leased their we've that known list been others that a extend is that space last XXX% know also but a the will We is And there a working tenant WorldVentures. has then

we know keep what now. that's you We'll abreast. So

Rob Stevenson

the and Northrop probably at given Petrobras cash XXXX moved And do same-store properties, the the that then in for biggest that now how you Okay. end about of into the year, properties operational think you've same-store so the growth redevelopment should at operating are XX I -- sort to XXXX does this for being bucket? NOI the in is properties And mean, negative? the negative point, in anticipating because growth be wind XXXX are the you And thinking had we slightly hit of that? guys about the NOI up going positive how

John Donahue

that we Well likely will it incrementally quarter-to-quarter. I think be that make progress

So we the occupancy. QX been XXXX as viewing likely low of physical have point

compared quarter And that But believe year's prior accurate. look as year your is first so that to the think not whole probably improve on. We that a estimate goes I the may as will great.

Rob Stevenson

you Okay. for properties? occupancy Or operating do XX redevelopment take some that. the going the Is is just three as low is point, redevelopments And the that well? assets to XX that three leased that to time operating are the are to XX% clarify well, that that then including properties now because just the for as obviously roughly

John Donahue

Donahue. morning, John Good it's Craig

it's I think each redevelopment on own its different much a and stands story.

city. building you unique. know, middle timber the experience and the the very As in It's XXX X-story property a brick Marquette is of unique

are We on that property. very bullish

there's terrific and tenant in a two has in the been space The think been terrific activity. in finding which perfect floors which the signature one is fit. would the bit ideally be the leasing I elusive it's way top building

grow. but had room we the to activity as heavy bullish property. for is building That property so fast to have for quite tenant the our time to liked South single to that room have tenant right the in just got -- positioned. market. there and Charlotte very And long a hasn't is sister either on going liked multi-tenant some and have that live suburban We moving we as be different a that's parked do much are at happened Xth, want find with to it able for still we're a market or up Transitioning ideally that building. but and Park is is Forest Rents dense and we've in would

Waterford strong rents of we're And wouldn't great take compared And oranges of with seeing kinds it's building. Really the How progress all haven't but you think believe said building market, Office page Class Park is we different exceptionally at those expect help it's Again prospects will that the seen had. than we will look we I and of size and as -- and be to higher stabilize XX of the to so Blue what long just we XXXX.
