5/5 the goal with all of these is to create leasable spaces that attract a as diverse of range of tenants as possible. A functional blank shell with great acess and ease of use is the goal.

7/ Lastly, include information on general partner (GP) compensation and how incentives are aligned. This will help build trust and confidence among investors. Transparency is key with this.
