Amenities - HELP!!
We have a building with zero amenities except for a small outside seating area. So no gym, club room, etc. The only thing we do have going for us is the building is brand new and nice.

Please don’t suggest putting the rooms on a discount, all of us can lease up a building that is priced below everyone else. That’s not my question.
