Thanks for the additional info MorningTheft. It sounds like, at least from the typical worker perspective then, that it's not so much "tech friendly" space that they're looking for - it's higher quality office space that can work in conjunction with the tech space. Since the banking industry relies more and more on electronic systems and thus increases the supporting staff for them, I can see how good quality office can become increasingly important in addition to the technical requirements of the space.

:) Thanks!

Thanks for the info MayDay. I suppose it's only computer dorks like myself who think that power supply is totally appropriate cocktail conversation. ;) I can imagine with them being the only tenants in the building that basic things like interior updates fall by the wayside, so that would make sense. I've seen several Cleveland-area brokers quoted in various PD and Crain's articles, but it appears so far that they're not working with any particular firm. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out, especially considering the building is under relatively new ownership.

I'm a bit late to the game here, but I'm doing some research on the May Co building and am curious if anyone knows any further details about what issues Key is running up against with their tenancy in the May Co Building, aside from the columns. I've read that they're looking for a place that's more "tech-friendly"....but I'm curious what exactly they're after with that. I assume Higbee (or their alternate choices) would have a more ample power supply, fiber optics, etc? I realize it's a long shot, but I thought one of you connected people might have the scoop on this. :) Also, hi! This board is a GREAT resource in finding out the dirt on a lot of these ongoing projects.
