Demand seasonality for real estate generally follows predictable patterns, with spring and summer being the busiest seasons and activity slowing down in the fall and winter. While these trends apply to the broader market, commercial office, mixed-use, and life science/lab properties can have specific nuances. Brandywine's portfolio would likely experience these broader seasonal fluctuations, with potential variations depending on the specific property type and local market dynamics.
