Perhaps we need a recruitment plan to bring in corporations to occupy existing office space in the financial center. If downtown office space is converted to residential, future corporate interest could be limited as the only options for space might be in the suburbs. I would be interested to see an HRM transit plan that focuses on moving people from downtown to go to work in the suburbs.

Though I understand your concern I wouldn't be concerned as it is a limited number of buildings.
