## FAQ
### Is Nashville's office boom sustainable?
Yes — structural drivers (healthcare HQs, no state income tax, in-migration) are durable. Cyclical absorption may soften but the long-run trend is up.

### What is the Gulch's role versus Downtown?
The Gulch is Nashville's principal mixed-use trophy submarket. Downtown carries deeper legacy stock; the Gulch holds the post-2018 trophy tier.

### How rich are concessions?
10-14 months free on a 10-year deal with $90-$130/sqft TI is typical. Tighter than the broader Sunbelt average.
