Harper says there's a strong possibility thatMacys.com will decide to retain the sixth floor space on apermanent basis, dropping availability in the building to just6,000 sf.

The negotiated lease rate was not released by the partiesinvolved; the asking base lease rate for the space prior tonegotiations was in the high $30s per sf.
