## FAQ
### Why is Berlin trophy so tight?
Federal capital tenancy, deep tech demand, and structural supply constraints (heritage protections, lengthy planning) keep delivery low relative to absorption.

### What is the typical break clause?
Most 5-10 year leases include break options at year 3 or year 5; trophy landlords resist breaks but often grant them in exchange for higher fixed escalations.

### How significant is BER airport?
BER materially improved international connectivity but the airport's S-Bahn link is on the 9 line — 30 minutes to central Mitte.
