I don't mean to simplify an exceedingly difficult question, but:Investor buys property at discount - investor is able to CF because of low basis - investor performs value add though round of CapEx - investors sells property at higher basis justifiable by higher capitalization of the new and improved NOI - buyer is less an investor and more a high earner looking for yield - buyer realizes CapEx is needed a few years down the road - doesn't do it because wants to keep the money - property deteriorates - property eventually sold as distressed - rinse and repeat until property is functionally/financially obsolescent...Not rocket science, if you think about it.

There's a lot of development happening: Elanco (animal science headquarters), business parks such as 16 Tech, is some of the development that's occurring.
