    {
      "question": "How meaningful is the Buckhead vs. Midtown rent gap?",
      "answer": "Trophy assets in both submarkets trade at broadly comparable rents; the differentiation is tenant culture (Buckhead more finance/legal, Midtown more tech/media) rather than economics."
    },
    {
      "question": "Is the Downtown CBD recoverable?",
      "answer": "Significant adaptive reuse and conversion is in early stages, but absorption recovery is unlikely before 2027-2028. Downtown trades at a 40-50% discount to Midtown trophy."
    },
    {
      "question": "What is the impact of MARTA on rents?",
      "answer": "MARTA-served trophy buildings now command a measurable premium of roughly 10-15% over otherwise-comparable car-dependent Class A — a recent shift driven by post-2022 commute economics."
