Newmark is a global leader in real estate advisory. Services. We are represented in almost every major city in the world. We also provide marketing services, brokerage services, capital markets, lending, and investments, as well as property management. Being in the commercial real estate business, you need companies that are dynamic and flexible. The fact that AFA is able to scale up all these other services besides fire life safety related services. It really is key for, commercial operator. In my line of work, you need a go to company that you could actually become a partner with. It's not just a vendor relationship, but a vendor partnership And I think AFA is able to provide these type of added value services that most other companies could not. When the owners acquired the company and engaged with Newmark to manage this asset for them, AFA originally was the legacy company on-site. We partnered with them early on and trusted that they would continue the the great service that they provided the prior owner. And we've we've been very fortunate because AFA was one of the few vendor partners that we have that we kept and we didn't look to go out to rebid the, services. A majority of the tenants who walk through the spatial perspective tenants that walk through the space really are keen on security, life safety, and the fact that I'm able to say that AFA is our vendor partner makes my job a lot easier because it's almost like we're able to sell the building and sell this base knowing that quality vendor partners like if they are on-site and maintain, this beautiful building. AFA, like Newmark, global leader in the industry, they provide best in class services. We were very fortunate to partner with them to accomplish this, wonderful repositioning of this beautiful building. With their help, the project was not on time and on budget, but really presented a class a fit for any future tenant.
