Tallgrass is also oneof the few buildings in the area where large amounts of space canstill be leased, he says.

The term of the lease is 10 years. Neverauskas would notdisclose the lease rate but said the average lease rates for thebuilding are between $13 to $14 per sf net. The lease has annualescalations and "nothing out of the ordinary" for incentives suchas tenant improvement dollars, he says.

The building is currently 40% leased. "We have a couple otherleases that we are negotiating on that will probably bring it up toabout 70%," Neverauskas says.
