Bill Glazer, boss at Keystone Property Group, collects aging office buildings, mostly suburban.
He says his Bala Cynwyd-based firm now controls north of 10 million square feet, about seven times the size of the new tower Comcast wants to build at 18th and Arch Streets.
"It's a big job. But it's a fun job," Glazer told me Wednesday, two days after he agreed to pay $231 million for 12 buildings (2.3 million square feet) in the suburbs of New York.
Keystone last year paid $233 million for buildings totaling 1.6 million square feet in Westlakes Office Park in Berwyn, Sentry Park in Blue Bell, and other suburban sites, from the same seller, Mack-Cali Realty Corp., of Edison, N.J., whose bosses now believe there's more money to be made in apartments.
Glazer convinced some cold-eyed lenders, including Deutsche Bank, to back last year's deals - at prices less than half of what suburban buildings used to fetch, or a third of what new construction would cost.
Cheap for a reason, no? "The whole office sector has been a tough space over the past few years," Glazer acknowledged. U.S. employment hasn't yet recovered to 2007 levels.
So how's he going to turn these deals to profits? "By reinventing the workspace with technology, fitness, and lifestyle," Glazer says cheerfully.
What's that mean? He directed me to his proposal for 100 Independence Mall West, the old Rohm & Haas building, where he's asked restaurant owner Michael Schulson to "craft an outdoor beer garden," plus "a very cool cafe" aiming for the street ambience of the Standard Hotel in New York's Meatpacking District.

"To date, we have seen no companies closing and no delays in ongoing leasing transactions, but we have seen a drop in enquiries," said Nithipat Tongpun, executive director - head of office services at CBRE Thailand.
"Even if in 2014 office demand is weak, rents are unlikely to fall because of the high occupancy levels and limited new supply," he added.
The total office stock in Bangkok was 8.1 million square metres at the end of last year, and the occupancy rate was 90.4 per cent. Occupancy improved in all locations and all grades.
Rents rose between 5 per cent and 9 per cent from end-2012 levels, depending on the quality and location of the building, said James Pitchon, executive director - head of CBRE Research and Consulting.
The total amount of occupied office space rose by 220,000 square metres in 2013, which was the best performance since 2005.
There are only 450,000 square metres of new office space under construction and due to be completed by the end of 2016, and some of this new space will be owner-occupied and not available for rent.
High occupancy and limited new supply means that office rents in Bangkok are likely to rise further, and that tenants will have limited choice.
The shortage of space, especially for larger requirements, has meant that tenants have been pre-letting in buildings under construction, Pitchon said.
Only two new grade-A buildings will be completed this year: AIA Capital Centre, a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold building on Ratchadaphisek Road, will be completed in the third quarter; and Bhiraj Tower at EmQuartier, located opposite The Emporium on Sukhumvit Road at Phrom Phong BTS station, will be completed in the final quarter.
Both of these buildings already have tenants who have committed to leasing space.

Mehran, an Indian and Pakistani restaurant on Pennsylvania Avenue frequented by students, plans to move to a new location in Foggy Bottom.
Administrators have yet to pick a developer for its 11-story office building along Pennsylvania Avenue, which local business owners say has kept them waiting far longer than expected.
GW will demolish a row of townhouses and local businesses some of which have sat on Pennsylvania Avenue for decades, like Thai Place, Mehran and Panda Cafe to build the office complex early next year. But those restaurants still haven't heard the final word about when they need to relocate their spaces.
Alicia Knight, senior associate vice president of operations, said last week that GW was still interviewing potential developers, but maintained that the project was not delayed.
We are still on track and plan to make an announcement this spring, she said in an interview.
GW had predicted it could begin planning construction as early as 2014, according to its website.
Businesses will receive six months' notice from GW before having to vacate their locations, Knight said in January, but only one has left since the project was announced in November 2011. The project took a small step forward last week when the D.C. Council approved the reconfiguring of an alleyway that will be adjusted in the construction process.
Five-year Mehran employee Kamran Khan said he expected to be notified by the University in March and has begun scouting new locations for the restaurant, including a spot on 21st and L streets, where he said rent is twice as expensive as their current location.
Panda Cafe manager Lisa Zheng said she has not heard anything from the University and does not know when they will be expected to leave their space.

Pennsylvania Avenue restaurants await answers on GW construction plans
HARRISBURG, Pa., Feb. 25, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ --Governor Tom Corbett announced today that 33 rail freight improvement projects that will help sustain more than 43,000 jobs across Pennsylvania were approved today for funding from three PennDOT-managed programs.
"Pennsylvania has more operating railroads than any other state, and investing in our rail freight network keeps these invaluable assets in prime position to generate economic growth and jobs,'' Corbett said. "Improving rail networks not only spurs our economy, it also increases safety by helping to ease traffic on our highways."
The State Transportation Commission (STC) voted to approve $33.4 million for 15 projects through the Rail Transportation Assistance Program (RTAP) and 14 projects through the Rail Freight Assistance Program (RFAP). RTAP is a capital budget grant program funded with bonds and RFAP is underwritten through the new Multi-Modal Fund, created by Act 89. In November, Corbett signed Act 89, a far-reaching transportation program that clears the way for significant investments in all transportation modes.
Also, the STC approved $1.3 million for four projects from Marcellus Shale impact fees designated for distribution through PennDOT's Bureau of Rail Freight, Ports and Waterways.

Capital improvements levy By JENNIFER NESBITT ThisWeek Community News ThisWeek Community News Wednesday February 26, 2014 9:25 AM
An overhaul of single-paned windows at Westerville South High School and roofing improvements, HVAC work and door replacements will wrap up the final year of an aggressive five-year capital-improvement plan in the Westerville City School District.
The Westerville City Board of Education approved the last of the bids for 2014 summer improvement projects at its Feb. 24 meeting, as Business Operations Services Executive Director Jeff LeRose updated the board on the district's capital-improvements plans and projects.
The overall 2011-2015 plan included major projects, such as the acquisition and renovation of a former office building to create the Early Learning Center and Administrative Offices at 936 Eastwind Drive; the creation of the Academic Enrichment Center in the old administrative offices; the renovation and expansion of the district's transportation facility on East Walnut Street; the installation of artificial turf at all three high schools, and improvements to building exteriors throughout the district.
In all, the district had identified $65 million in capital-improvement needs, which included items such as school buses, technology and text books, when the 2011-2015 capital-improvement plan was drafted, LeRose said, but only $57 million in funds was available.
At the time, the district deferred $8 million in projects to stay within budget, LeRose said.
However, during the down economy over the last five years, the district was able to recapture much of that $8 million to fund projects by closely watching its contractors and finding rebates, LeRose said.
As it does each summer, the district will turn facilities in need of improvement over to contractors from the day after school ends -- this year May 24 -- through the week before the next school year commences.
"Every summer it's an aggressive (improvement) schedule. We get about 10 weeks to pull these off," LeRose said. "Every September, that's when it starts over. We begin the design work for the following year."
The total in summer improvement projects for 2011-2015 was $13.8 million, LeRose said.
