I'll try and keep this thread up to date on what I hear.
I'm not sure I understand your logic on why EAP was not successful, built on spec and now fully leased (as I understand it to be) and what specific parking requirements are your referring to that would be any different from other highrise projects, that would "add to the cost of the building" therefore requiring higher rents.
