I don't have a major issue disaggregating the project, but it is comparing apples and oranges for sure.

Verizon would be like if we stuck the arena at say 9th Ave and 5th Street SW, right in the heart of downtown. Verizon is very much in the midst of downtown DC office area, very built up urban fabric. West Village is an almost blank slate.
