The negotiated lease rates on the transactions were not released by the parties involved, however; the full-service asking rate for space in the building is $18.50 per sf per year, and a large tenant making a long-term commitment could negotiate a discounted lease rate, an above-standard tenant improvement allowance, or quite possibly both. The law firm fits that bill, while the lease to CF, which is in the process of shutting down its operations, is short term, and the Potlatch lease is relatively small.

CenturyTel has made a bit of a habit of relinquishing space in the building for large tenants and the Schlesingers, which run the building's day-to-day operations, have been willing to get creative to secure tenants. In April 2003, it vacated the 20,754-sf sixth floor, making way for Millennium Funding Group. The mortgage services firm inked a seven-year lease at or below the asking rate and, as part of the incentive package, initially only has to pay rent on 14,000 sf while gaining access to the entire floor. Building owner Mark Schlesinger told GlobeSt.com at that time that Millennium would begin paying for the remaining 6,000 sf in different increments throughout the life of the lease.
