I believe property owners would strongly argue that closing the concourse would negatively affect their property values. It would reduce usage of their underground portions, create dead space, and lead to higher CRU vacancies — all of which would lower rental income. At the same time, most people who live and work in the area and regularly use the concourse would likely support keeping it open.
