We gave them numerous concessions and extra time to pay the rent and we helped them for several years since we owned the property. They voluntarily closed their doors in 2013 and did not renew their lease. We contracted gladys reality to assist us in renting the space and we contracted with them in San Francisco and always been happy with the tenant profile. Amanda and billy were presented to us and were not only the strongest qualifiers, but they are experienced with two other bay area restaurants and their concept excited our family a lot and we believe that they will be a great addition to the block.

Retail space. A very serious issue. When we talked to ms. Garland we talked about the restaurant to retail issue. Today, i understand that there is an issue of the closing time perhaps no longer being 10 00 on weekdays and 11 00 on the weekends perhaps 11 00 across the board which is not what we talked about two 2 days ago.

We appreciate your attention to this matter. Thank you. Vicepresident cindy wu thank you. Next speaker . Good afternoo
