Similarly, many existing tenants are pushing landlords for rent reductions. 'It's a sign of the times,' Brennan said. 'The momentum has very clearly shifted away from the developers to the tenants or anchors.'" https://twincities.bizjournals.com/twincities/stories/2009/07/20/story1.html?b=1248062400%5E1861947
