Okay.
1:20:48
It's a build out space.
1:20:49
I understand that.
1:20:50
Maybe we would have less space at 2.50 that would still accommodate them still have there's a big sign at 250 Broadway space available.
1:20:59
Big sign every single day.
1:21:01
So I'm concerned that it's hard to know what's factual.
1:21:05
I'll put it that way.
1:21:06
I am concerned just generally 2 Lafayette's gonna stay empty for how long.
Louis Molina
1:21:10
Well, too Lafayette at at some point when Department of Aging moves out is gonna have to undergo significant renovation.
1:21:18
Mhmm.
1:21:18
And at that time, we have some ideas of what city agencies may be able to move there and take over that city space.
1:21:25
Because after it has been improved, we would look to locate a city agency there.
1:21:31
And one of the agencies under consideration, I was reminded by my colleague, is consumer and worker protection.

1:21:40
All right.
1:21:41
Thank you.
Louis Molina

You're welcome.
