It also helps sustain demand and reduces the risk of future obsolescence.<\\\/span><\\\/p>\\n\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What does it really mean to reposition an asset?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"<p><span style=\\\"font-weight: 400;\\\">It does not always mean heavy works. Sometimes it means targeting a different tenant profile, refining the use, improving presentation, or reshaping the commercial strategy so the property competes better in its market.<\\\/span><\\\/p>\\n\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Can a lease contract influence value as much as a refurbishment?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"<p><span style=\\\"font-weight: 400;\\\">Yes, and often even more.
