      So you gave your old building a retrofit with new technologies… more in line with today’s standards and have seen results more in line with today’s standards.

              Not in so many words but they did say “When these bad boys are maintained they can outperform new apartments”

              I didn’t argue against them being capable of improvement, I’m arguing against the idea that they can outperform newer type buildings.
