to boxes the at big boxes the smaller now. positioned occupancy and capture well and right potential, that when lower sizes market. is little occupancy actually are And we a you So in look medium

have to we capture think I opportunity. So are we positioned well a that --

Hamid Moghadam

Yes.

XX% about of of our Only Just that. big facilities. box portfolio is really of super-regional sort to specific type put some numbers around the

the multi-market our that So majority tend the actually maybe is entry to closer we centers And vast to markets. of regional super in portfolio extent high have be very distribution those end stuff. barrier distribution to and city

Tom Olinger

question, first are items. promote and impact there fund the sell on your no two the on totally Those down. was so separate Craig, increase

And it's category on rent a that's on bigger probably I that’s spread the consistent. would in smaller that been something -- versus that box accelerating Second, change spaces, is saying higher definitely XXX say roll under been the we're to bit. XXX accelerating pretty

Hamid Moghadam

are big segments the up are medium pause all the spaces. recovery The to got the enjoyed early if the And XX% as course years. Yes. cycle. you by taking XX% their look much and all during And of boxes of now growth. they as at a rents, there last growth significantly But somewhat or good in a think rent five and smaller [indiscernible] I backseat really over, four, those

Tom Olinger

higher, cost These rents to as is cost, are growing smaller significantly well. spaces faster replacement and going and follow replacement it's on

Hamid Moghadam

be would period. looking deal at underwritten the I that markets market competitors every are ground specifically of out road generally say Steve, of and the the coming today Yes, the is dynamics on the very development and will that that down the during

rents years experience the that four the answer think question. is under we’re cap projected, compression. there we why we better that been is get. the are going three has to no been have margins general last we So by And rent than underwrite we higher or obviously mean and growth. large, rents to which what that actual And that in have shot have and rate I

So smaller they because generally difficult also are land greater. spaces the are areas are to replace where constraints more
