## FAQ
### How does Uptown trophy compare to South End mid-rise?
Uptown trophy clears $48-$55/sqft for high-floor product; South End mid-rise asks $40-$48/sqft. The differential reflects building height, floor plate, and Uptown's banking concentration.

### Is South End still appreciating?
Yes. Continuing Lynx Blue Line investment, residential supply, and tech/fintech absorption are sustaining the South End rent narrative.

### What is the impact of banking consolidation on demand?
Bank of America, Truist, and Wells Fargo are all rationalizing footprints. Net effect is modest absorption decline, partly offset by continued fintech and asset management expansion.
