Brendan Maiorana: Dylan, what I would just add to that is, I think given the kind of competitive dynamics that are in the leasing environment as it stands now, our ability to fund TIs is a benefit to us. But what we’re looking for in terms of customers and prospects to get in consideration for that is higher face rates and longer term. So I think what that’s going to do is drive — is going to keep net effectives holding up reasonably well, which is what we’ve seen generally happen. Now that might mean that there’s a little bit more upfront capital, but that secures longer lease term at attractive rate. So I don’t think you’re likely to see significant degradation in terms of net effectives, but it might mean there’s a little bit more upfront capital.

Dylan Burzinski: Great. Thanks, guys.
