Thanks Bio. I think it is important we watch out for each other on these boards because sometimes we wear blinders that only allow us to see what we want to see. I'm sure it is helpful and ex is appreciative when we clearly point out the whole picture. Thanks again for your input. Have a good one.
Exactly, deals are done with a series of contracts, but also, the lease is for a discrete and relatively small part of the factory.
That is total BS. The leased space is this:
Finished and equipped interior space:
Hotel Suite 1 (including C lab extension) 2,238 ft2 Hotel suite 2 2,012 ft2 Labs (PD and QC) 830 ft2 Corridors 1,420 ft2 Computer room 75 ft2
Sub-Total 6,575 ft2
Unfinished and/or un-equipped interior space:
Hotel Suite 3 2,012 ft2 Hotel Suite 4 2,012 ft2 Nitrogen cryostorage area 2,560 ft2 Plant room + electrical cupboard 1,300 ft2
Sub-Total: 7,884 ft2
Total Interior Space: 14,459 ft2
Those first 2 hotel suites are not "office" as you assert. They are (along with the labs) the GMP (phase 1A) facility.
The unfinished space accounts for the rest of the non-shell space and will be 1B of the GMP facility.
What is left is the shell space in the back.
OK, NWBO can do whatever they want with the back space. But they spent $14M for the space they just leased out. At the same rate they could spend maybe another $100M to build it and lease it out for $1M/y.
As far as "series of contracts", all they have is one contract that expires in 4 months.
While Advent is advertising their facility on their website to others.
