Project sponsor developer for 340 fremont street. As mr. Teague mentioned we are supporting now an informational presentation of the new design for 340 fremont street.

Of the best way i can respond to the preponderance or not of families living in downtown hi rises is probably one hawthorn which is a project that my company developed and has 165 residential units and its anecdotal information and not just speak for example art stone and i have provided to my partners. We have approximately five families i think the definition of families parents with children living in the 165 unit high rise building. 10 units remain unsold but it cant skew the mix too much and the preponderance of the units are primary residents. Theyre not investor units. I dont know if i can shed anymore light on the question. I think you answered it and certainly sounds based on your experiences with hawthorn this is the best you feel that would work best for you and i am certainly supportive, and obviously these units are condo mapped so in the future they had to be sold they could be sold, and i really complement you also on the design redesign with an outstanding Architectural
