I've been thinking about this, too. The DT office market keeps topping itself for price and occupancy levels, but I don't necessarily understand the mechanics of financing . . . so not sure if straightforward demand signals like that directly equal more construction.
Does Austin's market warrant building new office space even without pre-commitments?
EDIT: of course, the other thing that baffles me about our market is how, even with those record occupancies and rates -- which would seem to encourage us to build higher (and fight the FAA ceiling) -- we can't seem to crest that 400' plateau.
