“We think that the pricing for this — the mixture of new and renovation — is very, very good in that you’re getting savings from square footage in the building that’s worth preserving,” architect Dan Cecil said. “You’re getting rid of the stuff that is underperforming, will always be underperforming, and replacing it with new construction and all the energy efficiency that comes with it.”
