I said 'Never again would I consider building on any tract of land that I didn't think was a Main and Main location.'"

  9. Office demand is undeniably decreasing—and will do so more over the next six to nine months as energy M&A and bankruptcies pick up, Bruce says—but leasing hasn’t entirely stopped.
