The belive that they would prefer to not have to fund a $2MM capital expenditure if they can avoid it; but they would also prefer if they didn't have to fund the entire amount of their remodel.What I'm asking is: has anyone been faced with a similar situation where the anchor tenant has requested contribution to their remodeling expense?
