How this sector moves

What a legal & consulting move looks like from the public record.

Legal moves are slow and loud: partnership votes, pre-lets announced years out, and a public record trail from the first planning application at the target building. The Midtown-to-City drift and the shrink-but-upgrade pattern both show up in the data long before the press release.
