41、as tenants shift to more defensive strategies.Many of the downsizing leases executed throughout the pandemic have also upgraded to newer and more amenitized buildings,leaving large chunks of vacancy in older assets or even vacating entire buildings in some instances.That has led to an upcycling of o
