This new lease and the 80,000 square-foot Phase 2 capacity is in addition to the 80,000 square-foot Phase 1 at SV7, of which 38,000 square feet is preleased as previously announced, with that lease expected to commence upon substantial completion of the Phase 1 capacity, also scheduled by July 1, 2016.
