As well in most markets (Calgary seems to inexplicably defy this) there is a finite demand for space, so if you are the first to market, you can snap up the majority of the good tenants while the later to market buildings are left with the scraps. This is less pronounced in Calgary due to the near insatiable demand, but there are still better tenants than others and they will often get scooped up first.
