As 
a 
first 
time 
business 
owner, 
I 
really 
didn’t 
know
 a 
good
 landlord
 from
 a 
bad
 one, 
but 
I 
can 
definitely 
say 
that 
Development
 Associates 
has 
been 
there 
for 
me. 
As 
a 
start‐up, 
I 
needed 
incubation 
space
 to 
get 
me 
going 
and 
within 
a 
year 
I 
was
 looking 
to 
double 
that
 space.
 D.A. 
was 
there, 
both 
times 
making 
it 
easy
 for 
me 
with
 flexible 
lease 
terms
 and
 quick 
building modifications, 
helping 
us 
stay 
ahead 
of 
the 
growth 
curve. 
So 
it 
appears
 I 
was 
wrong 
when 
I 
said
 I 
didn’t 
know
 a 
good 
landlord from
 a 
bad
 one. I 
guess 
I 
do 
know 
a 
good
 one.
