Sweeney said during the company's third-quarter conference callthat Brandywine is looking to sell buildings that are in non-coremarkets or account for the bottom 25% of the firm's NOI. Brandywinewill also consider additional dispositions or joint-venturepartnerships.

During the third quarter, same-store occupancy was at 92.6%,down 1.2% from the same year-ago period.
